Chapter 487: A lawyer who likes to speculate
The law is a strange thing, and sometimes it feels like it's too harsh, but sometimes it doesn't.
Although both ancient and modern times have laws, there is a difference between the two laws in the strict sense.
From the perspective of human rights, it is obvious that the ancient law is more likeable, because this is the era of personal law co-governance, although Shang Ying's reform of the law is to hope to turn Qin Chao into an era of rule of law, but obviously, he did not do it, but he made a good start in this regard.
However, on the other hand, the rule of man naturally cannot avoid all kinds of problems, such as corruption, favoritism, and so on.
Later generations have placed too much emphasis on the rule of law, and it cannot be said that this is wrong, but one thing is certain, this is an era when those who say who is justified, and even later generations cannot completely avoid these problems.
However, Li Yuanji's establishment of the court system has stripped the power of adjudication from the local government offices, which obviously further provides a better environment for the legal society.
But the problem is that this is clearly a matter of not being held accountable.
And this is also the ultimate difficulty of this case, a difficult problem that no one can solve.
In the past, it was a group of people who gathered to rebel, and those who would eventually be beheaded and questioned could only be those who took the lead and those who held the main responsibilities, and there would be no treatment for ordinary minions.
The first is that there are too many people and it is difficult to deal with, the second is to appease people's hearts and avoid greater chaos, and the third is the grace of God, take the opportunity to publicize it.
And the reason for saying 1,000 to 10,000 is because those grassroots participants have little power and no ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and even if they are not dealt with, it will not have any impact on the state.
"Mr. Liang, what do you think of this?" In a small dilapidated courtyard in Chang'an, several old men looked at Mr. Liang, who was in his thirties, with sad faces.
"Don't panic, since I, Liang Qu, have taken over this matter, I will naturally do my best to help you!" Liang Qu smiled and shook his head, completely different from the expressions of the old men opposite.
Liang Qu read some books in his early years, and later became a lawyer by chance.
In fact, the lawyer is similar to the lawyer of later generations, but he is more comprehensive than the lawyer, such as writing pleadings on behalf of others, including suicide notes, contracts, pleadings and applications for industrial and commercial administration, and more often writing pleadings.
A good lawyer can influence the direction of the judgment of the whole case to a certain extent, and these people are often more cunning, and they are always able to seize loopholes or other people's handles, and use them to fight back.
It stands to reason that a lawyer should have a good life, because in such an environment, they have more room to operate.
But for Liang Qu, this is far from the case.
First of all, the lawyer must have enough fame, and without fame, first, he cannot raise his price, and second, he cannot establish his position in the government.
Although it is possible to survive taking on the cases of ordinary people, the problem is that the cases of ten ordinary people combined are far less than the cases of one rich and noble family.
In this case, those rich and noble families still have various contracts, industrial and commercial administration, etc., which is also a channel for them to get money.
Liang Qu wanted to be famous, he didn't want to continue to mix at the bottom, so he thought of this method, and took the initiative to find these people and represent them in this case for free, as long as he can succeed, his reputation will inevitably increase, and at that time, won't the cost increase exponentially?
Thinking of a bright future, Liang Qu's heart was full of fire, and he was excited and hated to open the court immediately.
Of course, excitement is excitement, as Liang Qu, who is ready to change jobs, how can he be excited about this matter?
In order to become a qualified lawyer, the necessary condition is to understand the law of the Tang Dynasty.
The Datang Law is actually adapted from the Wu De Law, adding some loopholes.
In order to become a lawyer, the most basic requirement is to mention a certain matter, and you must know which section of the issue is mentioned in the Tang Law, and a qualified lawyer must be able to immediately point out which section and which subsection the issue appears in.
And an excellent lawyer must be familiar with the full text, and must be able to memorize these word for word, which can be regarded as having the qualifications to get started.
Liang Qu can only be regarded as a qualified lawyer, and he has indeed put a lot of thought into this regard, but at the same time he pays more attention to some other methods, otherwise, a decent lawyer, when he has no business, usually sits at home and watches the Tang Law, in order to improve his rank and worth.
But Liang Qu doesn't think so, he always believes that success depends on more than just the ability to endorse.
Liang Qu took out a few letters of appointment, which he had written before, and handed them to everyone one by one, asking them to draw them one by one.
"You will hand over the court documents to me, and I will go to the court in the afternoon, first check the materials submitted by the other party, and find some questions as much as possible."
The new system is very good, the defendant can check the other party's information, if it is a civil dispute or something, both parties can check the information submitted by the other party, so as to prepare in advance, so as not to be caught off guard at that time.
This system is not to find reasons for those people, but to improve the efficiency of court sessions, so that they can prepare in advance, and then they can make a judgment as soon as possible, so as not to delay more time.
However, the investigation of information can only be checked by the lawyer, and the parties are not allowed to see it.
To check the information, the lawyer needs to prepare the letter of appointment and the court letter, as well as his own lawyer certificate.
These things are all there, so there's no rush at all.
Unhurried, after lunch, I even took a short break at home, and then slowly walked towards the location of the court.
Submitting information and verifying his identity, Liang Qu soon entered an empty room.
After a short time, several staff members came to this room with a pile of materials submitted by the Academy of Sciences, and under their supervision, Liang Qu was allowed to flip through these materials.
Opportunism is true, but for the case itself, Liang Qu doesn't like opportunism, the so-called opportunism, Liang Qu cares more about those ways in private.
For example, to improve your own fame? Normal people tend to solve cases by representing a large number of cases, but Liang Qu prefers to take the sword.
They thought that Tang Lu must be familiar with it, but Liang Qu felt that after consulting the information, it was enough to go to the corresponding places to memorize those places, and there was no need to memorize irrelevant places.
This is an afternoon, because the court also sent them a description of the materials a long time ago.
So this afternoon, Liang Qu was just flipping through the pages, not smudging the information, not recording any words, everything was imprinted in his mind.
"Gone?" Seeing that the person who went to deliver the information came back with him, Niu Zhuang frowned and asked, he didn't expect that these people would actually hire a lawyer, and this lawyer looked like an afternoon, this matter is obviously not that simple.
"Gone! Very well-behaved, didn't say a word, just watched it for an afternoon. ”
"Liang Qu? This person doesn't seem to be well-known? Niu Zhuang continued.
"Director, I know this person, his reputation is indeed not big, but his brain is very active, he always does things unusually, and he is very difficult, and all kinds of disgusting methods are one after another."
"If it's so powerful, why isn't it famous?" Niu Zhuang was a little puzzled, this is what lawyers do, and the more difficult they are, the more employers like them.
How can someone with this ability represent such a case? And most importantly, why don't those powerful people use him?
"It's very simple, the business is not good!"
"Poor business?" Niu Zhuang's eyes widened, and he felt that this answer was a little unbelievable.
"Yes, there were some big families looking for him in the past, but he just flipped through Tang Lu in one hand, while telling people how to deal with it, although the methods are not bad, but the people who need to turn over Tang Lu to find a way, how can those powerful people trust him?"
There is another sentence that he did not say, the big families cannot afford to lose this person.
"He didn't bring up anything else?" Niu Zhuang nodded and continued to ask.
According to the rules, the lawyer can ask questions when reviewing the information, and then the review team will review it, and after it is confirmed, it will be forwarded to the party providing the information for supplementation, if the supplement comes up, then this point is blocked, if it can't be supplemented, this point will become a breakthrough for the other party.
Some irrelevant issues, most people will raise them, if you are in a hurry, all the problems found will be raised, otherwise the result can only be adjournment, supplementation, adjournment, and supplementation, and it is possible for a case to drag on for several months.
"No, he said he could hold the court on time."
On the other side, the sun had not yet set when Liang Qu left the courthouse, and when he returned home, the sun had already set.
Several of the defendants pooled their money to buy some vegetables and cooked a table of meals by themselves.
Although this is Liang Qu's home, it seems a little inappropriate to do this, but the only thing they can think of is to do it.
Give money? One is that they don't have much money themselves, and the other is that they don't want Liang Qu to give it, they don't want any money, which also makes them think that Liang Qu is a good person from the bottom of their hearts.
Liang Qu was even more confident when he returned home, and the smile on his face spoke for itself, obviously, this afternoon's efforts were not fruitless.
And after seeing Liang Qu's expression, the defendants couldn't help but feel a little more comfortable, at least the result was not bad, but they could only comfort themselves, after all, it was the official who sued them this time, and even now they still look confused and don't know the reason.
"You don't have to worry, I already know this case, but you still have to be prepared for a long-term lawsuit, as for the specific reasons, I can't tell you, I can only tell you the final result, they can't win this case, and the result will definitely satisfy you."
