Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info legal service work has always adhered to the people's livelihood orientation, and the city has handled more than 1,300 legal service matters, avoiding and recovering more than 40 million yuan of economic losses......"

As in the morning at the veteran cadres bureau, Tian Wenjian and the cadres of the Judicial Bureau had a simple lunch in the canteen, and then went to the conference room on the third floor to hold a symposium.

Fu Wenyi, deputy director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee and director of the Bureau of Veteran Cadres, Dong Liyun, deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress, and other leaders of various bureaus, commissions, and offices in charge of the work of veteran cadres all went back, and Chen Biao, executive vice mayor in charge of public security and judicial work, and Li Xiaowen, director of the Municipal Axe Legislative Affairs Office, came to accompany Tian Wenjian in his investigation.

Director Liu's eyebrows in the report of the Bureau of Justice flew with color, and the achievements from 1998 to the present were all written out one by one. It's a pity that just talking about achievements and not mentioning shortcomings in the report, Secretary Tian Da is not interested at all, and even a little dissatisfied with the work of the Judicial Bureau.

In a large economic city with a total output value of nearly 10 billion yuan in industry and agriculture, there are only six lawyers, five of whom are retired prosecutors or judges from the procuratorate and the court, and the other is also the director of the Linshui Committee of the Huazhou Lawyers Association.

As for his achievements, they are all based on fees. On the wall, in accordance with the "State Archives Law" and the Ministry of Justice's "Interim Provisions on Township Legal Service Offices", combined with the actual work of township legal services, the method of charging fees formulated is clearly written.

For legal consultation, 3 yuan per person will be charged each time; 10 yuan for writing pleadings, replies, appeals, appeals and other general legal affairs documents; 30 yuan each time for reviewing and drafting contracts; The legal service office serves as a perennial legal adviser and charges 100-500 yuan per month...... The list goes on and on.

What makes Tian Wenjian feel helpless is that there are also clear regulations on how to distribute the fees collected. In addition to the remuneration used to pay the staff, the remaining 10% of the legal service offices that are self-supporting shall be handed over to the township and town people's political axe, and 50% shall be used as a career development fund; 25% as prize fund; 10% as a collective welfare fund; 5% as a reserve fund.

Legal service offices that fully manage the shortfall subsidy must hand over 50% of their income to the township or township people's government; 50% is used as a development business fund. The salaries and bonuses of the staff of the legal service office shall be paid by the township people's government.

Compared to the high legal fees, such fees are really nothing. However, both the judicial bureau and the township judicial office are political axe departments, and the wonderful combination of operation and management has made the credibility of the judiciary disappear.

Thinking of this, Tian Wenjian coughed dryly, and while signaling Director Liu not to report anymore, he stared at the five lawyers who had and were the only, and asked lightly: "Director Sun, how many times has the Legal Aid Center provided legal aid this year?" ”

Sun Kaiming, the former deputy procurator general of the Municipal Procuratorate and now the director of the Linshui City Lawyers Association, was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said hesitantly: "Report to Secretary Tian, although legal aid is free, it is also conditional. In addition, the usual cost of hiring a lawyer is more than 2,000 yuan, and the larger the subject matter, the higher the cost, so people are generally reluctant to find a lawyer. ”

"You're saying you haven't provided free legal aid anymore?" Although Tian Wenjian knew this, he couldn't help but ask.

Director Liu was very embarrassed, and hurriedly interjected, and carefully explained: "Secretary Tian, providing legal aid is not our family's business, and since most of the defendants voluntarily admit guilt, the court will not appoint a lawyer for them. The courts don't need it, and we can't rush to provide legal aid, can we? ”

I have to admit that Director Liu's words still have some truth, the dust has already settled on the other side, and if you have nothing to do to provide legal assistance, won't that affect the unity between fraternal units?

Tian Wenjian sighed secretly, and then asked, "What about the composition of the township judicial offices?" All have a certain amount of legal knowledge, right? ”

This question can make Director Liu difficult, because the judicial office is also a unit that supports people, and even the judicial offices that are self-supporting are under the management of townships and towns, and the judicial bureau is only responsible for operational guidance, and has no decision-making power in personnel and finances.

Looking at his look of wanting to speak and stopping, Executive Deputy City Chen Biao hurriedly turned his head and said with a smile: "Secretary Tian, the composition of the judicial office is indeed a bit complicated, there are cadres who cannot be resettled after the withdrawal of townships and towns, demobilized soldiers, and some old comrades who have retreated to the second line. Of course, the families and children of some leading cadres are not excluded. However, the city still pays close attention to the business training, and the capable are the mediocre, after all, they are engaged in legal work, and they do not have enough legal knowledge. ”

The aging of the population is both a bad thing and a good thing, as long as we tighten our mouths and persist in five or six years, the huge contingent of cadres will be able to naturally slim down. This is also a helpless way, otherwise Tian Wenjian would not have made such a big determination and was ready to work in Linshui for eight to ten years.

Many things cannot be done quickly, especially the extremely sensitive elite army and simplified administration. Tian Wenjian no longer dwelled on it, but said thoughtfully: "If you have a specialization in the art industry, it is more appropriate to let professional people do professional things." Mayor Chen, if conditions permit, can we make a small reform of the judicial system? Like the work of veteran cadres, all township judicial offices should be unified under the judicial bureau? ”

The judicial bureau is under the management of the political axe, and even if the power is taken from the hands of the township and town leaders, it is still within the jurisdiction of him, the executive vice mayor in charge of public security and judicial work. In a sense, power has not been weakened, but strengthened.

Looking at the impatient appearance of Director Liu and other cadres of the Bureau of Justice, Chen Biao realized that he had to express his position, and after thinking for a while, he said again and again: "Secretary Tian, this is different from the work of old cadres, and it involves more aspects, why don't we study and study it again and listen to the opinions of all parties?" ”

Of course, he can't be the master of such a big matter, after all, he is only an executive deputy mayor. Tian Wenjian nodded slightly, and said casually: "I just put forward an idea, as for how to do it, it still needs to be studied and demonstrated." However, one thing is clear: popularizing the law is the top priority of judicial work. We must not be referees and athletes at the same time, otherwise what would we need lawyers for? ”

Speaking of this, Tian Wenjian stood up, pointed to the detailed rules for the law firm's fees hanging on the wall, and continued: "At present, China's legal service market, especially the local legal service market, is very chaotic, and a large number of 'legal workers' are handling cases for compensation.

According to incomplete statistics, there are 6,366 registered legal workers in our province alone, which is basically the same as the number of practicing lawyers, and in practice, many people are pretending to be lawyers. I don't know if you have ever thought about whether the Ministry of Justice has the power to permit people other than lawyers to engage in paid legal services according to the provisions of China's current laws? Is there any power to issue a legal worker's card to someone? ”

Just as Tian Wenjian said, the "Measures for the Management of Grassroots Legal Service Workers" issued by the Ministry of Justice is an out-and-out administrative regulation. On the premise that there is no legal basis, it is an invalid license act. Although the shortage of legal workers has been alleviated to a certain extent, due to the uneven quality of practitioners, in practice it will not only infringe on the rights of other citizens, but also infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of practicing lawyers.

Tian Wenjian's implication is very clear, that is, the paid lawsuits represented by the judiciary are all violating the law by knowing the law. The main job of the Bureau of Justice should be to popularize the law rather than engage in legal management.

Chen Biao reacted, nodded hurriedly and said: "Please rest assured Secretary Tian, the municipal finance will definitely squeeze out enough funds to ensure the normal operation of the judicial system." Efforts should be made to abolish the existing fee items such as legal consultation and civil mediation within two years. ”

Tian Wenjian nodded with satisfaction, motioned for him to sit down, and continued: "Comrades, Mr. Hu Shi once said that in a dirty country, if everyone talks about rules instead of morality, it will eventually become a normal country with human feelings, and morality will naturally gradually return; In a clean country, if people degenerate into a country that does not pay attention to rules but talks about morality, nobility, and morality every day when everything is fine, and everyone is impartial, eventually the country will become a dirty country full of hypocrites.

For various reasons, for more than 2,000 years, we have known that it is the fool who follows the rules, and it is the smart people who make the rules. Having studied abroad for so many years, looking at the construction of the legal system of others, and thinking about our rule of law, I don't understand whether Westerners are too stupid and still can't figure it out, or are we Chinese too smart? ”

Those who were sitting here were either cadres of the Bureau of Justice or lawyers, so how could they not hear the meaning of Secretary Tian's words. After all, from the bottom of their hearts, they also hope that the building of the legal system can be carried out in a sound manner. There is no doubt that Tian Wenjian's words went to their hearts, and when everyone was deeply touched, Tian Wenjian continued:

"You are all lawyers, and you should know better than me that the law is the minimum moral requirement for people. If power is higher than the law, people will turn to power for help, and they will use "guanxi" to solve any problem; If the law is higher than power, people will turn to the law and solve problems through rules.

The economic base determines the superstructure, and the superstructure also determines the moral base. This requires that we, the party members and cadres, know and understand the law, and must not know the law and break the law while enforcing the law and using the law, and trample on the laws we have formulated. ”

The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and as soon as Tian Wenjian's words fell, everyone immediately sent a burst of warm applause.

Although Tian Wenjian clearly understands that it is not enough to just sing a high profile, he still said affectionately: "In the current situation of moral decline, weak awareness of the legal system, and rampant unhealthy tendencies, the profession of legal work has also become a high-risk profession that is prone to problems.

In handling every case, we may encounter temptations from power, money, and other aspects, and fairness and honesty are facing unprecedented tests. Therefore, as a legal worker, we must always keep a clear head, resist temptation, and resist interference.

I remember that there is a sentence in "Caigen Tan" compiled by Hong Yingming in the Ming Dynasty, 'The demons descend to their hearts first, and the demons retreat when the heart is subdued; Those who control the horizontal first control this qi, and the qi is flat and does not invade', I think this sentence is a good interpretation of the important surname of self-cultivation.

In particular, compared with the ordinary people, we legal workers should be one step taller, one level higher in handling things, one level higher in moral cultivation, and one level higher in affection; From the perspective of being an official, from the perspective of the rule of law, and from the perspective of serving the people, we should constantly clean up our own thoughts, reflect on our own behavior, and strive to prevent ideological degeneration, economic corruption, dereliction of duty, and lax discipline, so as to be a good cadre worthy of the party, the people, and conscience! ”

is worthy of being a scholar-type official, and he doesn't even need a speech script, so much is said endlessly.

To everyone's surprise, Tian Wenjian suddenly changed his words and continued with great seriousness: "Knowing the law and abiding by the law should start from the power organs, and we must do what we say and do what we do!" Here, I would like to express to you that from now on, the Linshui Municipal Party Committee will never interfere with the normal handling of cases by the Public Procuratorate and Justice Department and other departments!

At the same time, I also hope that you will have a firm belief in the law, be loyal to the law, consciously abide by the principles, spirit and a series of rules of the law, and be familiar with and understand the relationship between various substantive laws; In addition, it is necessary to have a reading personality, not only abide by the law, pay more attention to conscience, be indifferent to fame and fortune, consciously resist all kinds of temptations, and maintain social fairness and justice with a high sense of honor and professionalism! ”

If it was said that the veteran cadres bureau in the morning was peaceful, then now these remarks are a signal to release the building of a clean and honest party style. Chen Biao realized the seriousness of the problem, after all, today's research unit is the Bureau of Justice, not the Public Security Bureau, let alone the court and the procuratorate. He said so much and said so much, is it dissatisfaction with the public procuratorate and law? Or is it a prelude to an anti-corruption storm?

In fact, he misunderstood Secretary Tian Da, and the reason why he said this was just to take this opportunity to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger. After all, an oolong was just staged in the veteran cadres bureau in the morning, and if it is not tougher, it will affect the prestige that has just been established at the city's rural work conference.

The sword hanging over the head is more intimidating than the sword that is cut out. Tian Wenjian, who is full of ambition and is preparing to do a big job unless he has to, will never easily raise the banner of anti-corruption.

As he expected, this speech at the Bureau of Justice immediately spread to the public. Even the township and town cadres could not sit still, and one by one they used all the connections they could to inquire about any changes in the municipal party committee, especially the municipal discipline inspection commission.

On the afternoon of the fourth day of Tian Wenjian's investigation, he hurriedly returned to Linshui to find out what was going on in the city.

Seeing that Chen Guanglu, who was in the dust, did not report to the municipal party committee first, but ran to find him, Zhou Yi shook his head with a wry smile, and asked lightly while motioning for him to come in: "Is your body okay?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that there is something wrong with the liver."

Chen Guanglu glanced back twice, then closed the door, and said impatiently: "Old Zhou, there is no movement on the side of the municipal party committee, right?" The phone has been flooded in the past two days, and the more I think about it, the more uneasy I become, and I dare not call you casually, so I can only be discharged from the hospital early. ”

What a guy who couldn't hold his breath, Zhou Yi gave him a roll of his eyes, and said angrily: "Then you dare to run to my house?" Besides, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, if you don't have a ghost in your heart, do you need to be afraid of him? ”

"Lao Zhou, you don't know what kind of person I am."

Chen Guanglu was anxious, put down the cigarette that had just been delivered to his mouth, and said with a wry smile: "If you want to talk about economic problems, we really don't have any." But if people insist on picking bones in eggs, then why don't they give you something to do? ”

There is no blatant corruption [***], but it is inevitable to receive some gifts from small fights. What's more, taking advantage of his position to lend money to others for usury is the unspoken rule of Linshui officialdom, and if the newly appointed Secretary Tian Da really stands up to the truth, the vast majority of Linshui cadres, including him Zhou Yi, will not be able to escape.

Looking at his nervous look, Zhou Yi sighed lightly, lit a cigarette, and said solemnly: "A unit investigates for half a day, and in two months, you don't run all the townships and bureaus in Linshui?" I can't hide it, and it's even more foolish to want to pull him into the water, Lao Chen, I think we'd better take it when we see it, don't go around when you can't eat when the time comes. ”

The money lent to the developer has been put on paper, and all the net worth has been invested, so how easy is it to get it back for a while?

Chen Guanglu shook his head and said helplessly: "You think I don't want to?" The money has turned into reinforced concrete, and it is difficult for the surnamed Wang to even pay interest, before the house is sold, how can he have money and bad debts? ”

Lending money to Tongda Real Estate Company for turnover was handled by Chen Guanglu. In fact, not only their entire net worth was invested, but even the small coffers of some units were also invested in real estate. Personal usury can be said to be an investment, and the small treasury invested in real estate is embezzlement of public funds.

Zhou Yi weighed it and said resolutely: "I'll talk to those banks tomorrow to see if they can lend some money to Wang Shulin." As soon as the funds are available, you will immediately give me all the money you have handled. ”

"That's all it can be." Chen Guanglu nodded heavily, with a deeply approving expression.

At this time, Zhou Yi suddenly changed his words and said to himself: "Listen to his words and watch his deeds, he shouldn't be a person who makes small moves behind his back." According to Lao Ge, on the way to the Finance Bureau yesterday for investigation, he encountered two people who blocked the road and complained. He didn't say anything, let alone be a big man, but asked those two people to go to the Letters and Visits Bureau, and he didn't even have an instruction, but just asked the Letters and Visits Bureau to handle it in accordance with the procedures. ”

The new officials take office with three fires, and the ordinary officials who have just taken office will never let down the common people who block the road and file complaints. Secretary Tian's actions surprised Chen Guanglu, and after being stunned for a while, he asked thoughtfully: "Old Zhou, are we worrying about the sky in this way?" ”

"Words can't be said to die, and it doesn't have to be if he doesn't want to startle the snake."

Zhou Yi took a deep puff of his cigarette, puffed out the light blue smoke ring, and continued: "If he is a person with us, then he will not even live in the Standing Committee Building, but rent a youth community alone." In addition, Liu Kangmin's cannon barrel is there, and we can't hide that little thing from him at all. ”

Although Chen Guanglu has been staying in the provincial capital during this time, he is not ignorant of the relationship between Tian Wenjian and Liu Kangmin of the Ministry of Armed Forces. In fact, as soon as the first Standing Committee ended, he received the news.

Thinking that he knew everything about himself, Chen Guanglu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, stood up suddenly, and asked impatiently, "What should I do?" Lao Zhou, what should I do? ”

"Calm, the more this time, the more you need to be calm."

Zhou Yi waved his hand, motioned for him to sit down, and continued: "It can be seen from the work of the old cadres and the township judicial office that he is a person who really wants to do something. After all, the current cadre team is too huge, with overlapping institutions, similar functions, and multiple government decrees.

Since we can't hide it, and we can't drive it away, then we can only do what he likes and cooperate with his work as much as possible. As for borrowing money, it is not just our Linshui family, nor is it just our leading cadres. If the law doesn't blame the public, is it possible that he can still take down all the cadres? ”

"And what do you think he's going to do next?"

"He is a cadre from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, a scholar-type official who has taught me, how do I know what he wants to do?"

Zhou Yi gave him a roll of his eyes, and said coldly: "The first person to criticize by name is your propaganda system, there are some messy advertisements on the radio and TV, you better think about yourself." ”

Chen Guanglu reacted, nodded again and again, and said, "I understand, I will do this tomorrow." That's right...... Which unit has he researched now? I want to report to him. ”

"It should be the Labor Bureau, but if you go, it's for nothing. People go to work to investigate, and when they come home from work, they don't have time to listen to your report. ”

As Zhou Yi said, Secretary Tianda's schedule is very regular. Work during working hours and rest during off-duty hours, neither overburdened nor forgetful of sleep and food. So much so that in the minds of the common people, he is just a clean official, or even a mediocre official who does nothing.

After all, as a cadre from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, if you don't arrest so many corrupt officials, you will know about investigation and investigation all day long, and it will not rain when it thunders and thunders, which is too disappointing. At the same time, as the leader of Linshui City, you don't attract investment, and you don't bring any projects, and a corrupt official who can do things is stronger than now!
