Chapter 55 A lawyer who doesn't want money is not a good lawyer

One of the benefits of working in a big supermarket is that you can always buy the freshest food and don't have to get up early in the morning to go to the grocery market.

With enough financial guarantees, Xiaoping made the daily dinner extremely rich. Half of it was served on the table, and half of it was cooled in the refrigerator, so that Han Jun, Bai Xiaoqian, Jiang Yi and Shi Lingzhi could have the same food to eat when they were at home at noon the next day.

The sub-bureau really sent 150,000 yuan, Jiang Yi couldn't eat it, and she couldn't eat it.

Zhang Lin knew that she was in a bad mood, and after eating, she went up to the rooftop to cool off. Blowing the wind, swinging, looking at the night scene, and watching the children laugh and play, the mood is really much better.

As long as it is a social occasion, Bai Xiaoqian will never miss the opportunity to promote herself, looking at her chatting and laughing with several professors, Jiang Yi pouted and muttered: "Money maniac, you know how to make money." ”

She is the youngest, and she is Han Jun's apprentice, and she has indeed suffered some grievances, and the big guy treats her as a child and always accommodates her. Zhang Lin glanced sideways at her, and scolded with a smile: "What are you talking about ginger, Director Bai is dedicated and self-motivated." You think they are all like your master, good lawyers and professors don't work, and you know all day long that you don't do your job. ”

As a lawyer, Shi Lingzhi knows better than anyone how difficult it is for her senior sister, and she can't help but defend: "Jiang, Sister Xiaoqian loves money, and sometimes she even cares about it, but you can't look down on her because of this, because if you look down on her, you look down on me and your master." ”

"Lawyer Shi, I don't look down on Sister Bai, let alone you and my master."

When you say that, you can't tell what you think in your heart.

Interlaced like a mountain, not a lawyer does not know the true state of existence of a lawyer, Han Jun sighed secretly, and said with deep feeling: "Jiang, Xiaoping, in your eyes, lawyers are very glamorous, their social status seems to be very high, and they are a respected profession, but that was before, it was abroad. You may not believe it, the average income of Chinese lawyers is not as good as that of taxi drivers, with an annual gross income of less than 100,000 yuan, and more than 70% of lawyers have a difficult life, so that many young lawyers have to change careers. ”

Xiaoping couldn't believe it, and asked suspiciously: "Brother-in-law, you're not joking, are you?" ”

Han Jun shook his head and confirmed very seriously: "No kidding, I don't believe you can ask those trainee lawyers on the second floor tomorrow how their days are going." ”

"You don't have to ask them, just ask."

Shi Lingzhi took over the conversation and explained with a wry smile: "Others can make money after graduating from college, and they can at least support themselves no matter how good their jobs are." After graduation, we not only have to take the most difficult 'first exam in the world', but also have to go through a one-year internship period before we can become full-fledged lawyers and practice independently. Therefore, every trainee lawyer must unconditionally accept the conditions offered by the law firm, otherwise there is no way to become a regular.

There is no salary for the internship, and you have to pay for social security and medical insurance, and even have to pay money to the law firm. I can still gnaw at the old, how do those trainee lawyers whose families are in the countryside live? Rent, water and electricity, transportation, food, nothing is not money, and in addition, you have to pay a registration fee of several thousand yuan to the bar association.

Even if it's a small grass, it needs a little sunlight and water to live, right? But the reality is that there is no penny, and the expenses of food, clothing, housing and transportation can only be supported by parents. With his parents' money, his heart is bleeding. In the year of establishment, I still need the help of my parents, and I am ashamed to think about it. This is the real state of existence of us trainee lawyers, we defend the rights of others, but our own rights and interests cannot be safeguarded, do you say sad or not, sarcastic or not? ”

Jiang Yizhen didn't expect the trainee lawyer to be so difficult, and couldn't help asking: "Master, Sister Bai won't also care about lawyer Shi to collect money, right?" ”

"No, but no salaries."

Han Jun paused and explained from another angle: "It's not that she is black, but that the law firm also has unexplained pain for interns." On the one hand, trainee solicitors want the law firm to pay a little bit of salary. On the other hand, the law firm believes that the trainee solicitor will not know anything and is a burden to the law firm. What's more, law firms are places to support themselves without a penny of financial allocation.

As a trainee lawyer, you can't create benefits for the law firm, so why should the law firm give you money? There are also many trainee lawyers, who swear by it during their internships, but as soon as they get their practice certificates, they change jobs, which makes law firms reluctant to invest in trainee lawyers, after all, the survival of law firms is also very bumpy. ”

Zhang Lin was also surprised, took his arm and asked, "Han Jun, are you the same in the United States?" ”

"We are better than our domestic counterparts, if we have good grades in law school and can enter the top ten, the law firm will sign a contract in advance to provide funding, and trainee lawyers and paralegals have salaries, but it is very difficult for newcomers to get ahead in any country, so I am especially grateful to Lingzhi's grandfather, because he gave me a chance to stand out."

"Lawyer Han, my grandfather is also very grateful to you, if it weren't for your help, my uncle's green card would not have been so easy to get. Not to mention that you played that lawsuit cleanly and brilliantly. ”

Shi Lingzhi smiled and continued with reverence: "Professor Zhang, Jiang, Xiaoping, and Lawyer Han are role models for us trainee lawyers, Gao Ming doesn't know if you recognize him, it's the young man with glasses on the second floor. Originally, I was planning to change careers, but I heard that Mr. Han was the consultant of our branch and could learn from Mr. Han in the future, so I insisted on staying.

In order to make a living, he took a boxed lunch to the branch office during the day to wait for the case, and used the branch phone to contact the source of the case. At night, I use bicycles to carry goods to the night market to set up stalls, selling belts and baseball caps. There is a movie called "Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears", and there is also a saying in the legal profession that lawyers don't believe in tears. If you want to become a practicing lawyer in China, you must first start with how to survive the hurdle. ”

It's really not easy, Zhang Lin was very moved, looked at Bai Xiaoqian not far away and asked, "Lingzhi, your senior sister also came over like this?" ”

"Yes, I finally survived the internship period, and I haven't received a single case for more than half a year of formal practice, if it weren't for Lawyer Han, she might have changed her career long ago."

Looking at Jiang Yi's stunned appearance, Han Jun continued: "Jiang, Director Bai is not as rich as you think, and many lawyers who look glamorous are not as glamorous as they seem, this is all a shame. Because if she wants to be trusted, she has to be convinced that she is 'successful'.

If you want others to believe that she is 'very successful', you must pretend to be face-saving, and if you don't have money, you have to pretend to be rich, and rush to pay for meals. I know a lot of domestic lawyers who can't afford to buy a house or a car, but they have to do everything they can to buy it, or even if they don't have a house, they still have to have a car. In front of the parties, even if they only have a few tens of dollars on their bodies, they have to open their mouths to talk about millions and 100,000 yuan, and they have to look like they don't care and don't seem to be weird. ”

Jiang Yi really looked like a child who had made a mistake, and bowed her head and said, "Master, I really didn't know that Sister Bai was so difficult, I really shouldn't fight with her for everything." ”

"If you know your mistakes, you can change them and be a good child, and although she is not as successful as she seems to be, she is still bitter. The managing partner of Justice Law Firm and the director of the Western Suburbs Branch, it can be seen from the personnel structure of the branch that she really wants to make a career. Lingzhi, you have to help her well, and try to keep those interns, especially the Gao Ming I just mentioned. ”

Shi Lingzhi smiled and said, "Lawyer Han, we all know that there is a big case next, and they won't leave if we drive them away now." ”

Didn't you just bring a few interns, and there was no practicing lawyer under him, Zhang Lin was confused, and asked curiously: "Han Jun, Xiaoqian really wants to do a big career?" ”

"Hmm."

Han Junzhong nodded his head and smiled very gratifyingly: "So she doesn't want any of those old fritters to be attached to, as long as the newcomers with strong plasticity." I casually looked through my resumes in the afternoon, and found that several of them were halfway monks, with marketing backgrounds, financial backgrounds, and high English skills. Coupled with Lingzhi, a returnee with a U.S. lawyer's license, I think it won't take a few years for her to pull up a real team of lawyers responding to anti-dumping investigations. ”

is really a backer, Zhang Lin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Isn't this robbing you of your job?" ”

Without waiting for Han Jun to speak, Shi Lingzhi smiled and said, "Professor Zhang, robbing Lawyer Han's job, how can you think so easily." I'm not afraid of your jokes, although I have a New York bar license, but I have never been to court, and I don't even know a lot of J.D. courses, and I don't know what to do as an assistant. ”

"There is competition to make progress, and besides, there are so many cases, and there are very few people in China who can really fight this kind of lawsuit. As far as I know, there is no one in Jiang Province, and in the past, those companies had to go to BJ or SH to ask for a lawyer if they wanted to respond to the lawsuit. ”

Han Jun smiled and added meaningfully: "Ginger, you must remember that a lawyer who can't make money and can't manage people for money is not a good lawyer." In addition to legal aid, you must not trust lawyers who speak loudly and run around all day to defend the rights of those people. Because there are really two lawyers, they will not be in the limelight, and they will not be soft at all when they really put away the money. ”

Thinking that his former assistant Erin would come over with the anti-dumping investigation response team tomorrow afternoon to join him, Jiang Yi asked eagerly: "Master, the lawyer you are looking for in the United States will arrive tomorrow, can our case be solved?" ”

Han Jun pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "The old fox's agitation method is not only provoking Liu Yipeng and Wang Siqiang, but also provoking us, to say in my heart, I really don't want to fall for him, but human life is at stake, and I can't really stand by, so I can only ask him to wait, and then go to help him when I finish the matter at hand." ”

"So what should I do?"

"You investigate first, you have already solved three murders with me, and you can take charge on your own, I have confidence in you."

Jiang Yi shook his head again and again and said, "Master, don't be joking, I really don't have confidence in myself, I don't know which direction to start." ”

"Tell me about the case, and I'll see if I can give you some constructive advice."

"What together?"

"The most recent one."

How interesting it is to solve the case, Xiaoping urged: "Tell me, we also want to hear it." ”

I don't know how many times I have read the case file materials, Jiang Yi introduced without thinking: "At 8 o'clock in the morning on September 26 last year, two elderly people fishing by the river found a burned car and the wreckage of someone in the driver's seat, and immediately called the police. After investigation, the victim's surname is Tan, her name is Tan Hui, female, 29 years old, university education, senior accountant, divorced from her ex-husband three years ago, and has no children. Before he was killed, he worked as the deputy director of the audit and supervision department of Donghua Group, the largest private enterprise in Jiangcheng, and lived in Room 301, Building 26, Binjiang Community. ”

Han Jun quickly found the location of the crime scene on the map on his mobile phone, and asked lightly: "What about the cause of death?" ”

"Since the car was not burned very badly, the body was not burned to ashes, the forensic doctor determined that asphyxiation was the real cause of death, and the autopsy found obvious strangulation on the neck. At the same time, the fire experts of the provincial department identified the fuel tank as the fire point. ”

Xiaoping blurted out: "Since the fuel tank is on fire, shouldn't the car explode!" ”

"That's the movie."

Han Jun put away his mobile phone and patiently explained: "There are two kinds of materials for automobile fuel tanks, one is metal and the other is resin. Nowadays, most models have plastic fuel tanks, and metal fuel tanks are only more common on older models. The resin fuel tank has many advantages, such as light weight, no rust, easy molding, and not easy to deform in collision, but the cost is slightly higher.

If you light the gasoline in the fuel tank, the fire will spread quickly, covering the entire tank, and the tank will be melted very quickly. After the oil leaks out, it will encourage the fire to burn, the process is very fast, and at the same time, it is not too long, under normal circumstances, the fire will gradually decrease in about 5 minutes, and I have encountered two such cases in the United States, and there was no explosion. ”

"The master is right, the car didn't explode."

Jiang Yi took a sip of water, and then said: "The murderer is very cunning, the crime scene is very remote, usually inaccessible, and the recent surveillance is three kilometers away. not only tried to destroy the body, but also cleaned up the scene very cleanly, leaving nothing behind the footprints and car prints, unlike Ma Chunlan's case, where DNA samples could be extracted. ”

"The car is the deceased?"

"Yes, in fact, the identity of the deceased was found through the guò car. She is different from Ma Chunlan, she has a large social circle, she offended many people during her tenure as the deputy director of the Audit and Supervision Department, she is single, and she has talked to several boyfriends after the divorce. According to a colleague in the Audit and Supervision Department, she has an ambiguous relationship with several vice presidents of several branches. But no matter how the Wang team investigated in the direction of love and vendetta, they couldn't find out the eyebrows. ”
