Chapter 965: APLUS's Dream Lawyer Group
Anthony Pellicano feels that the relationship between Motula and APLUS has been completely translocated after just five years, which is unbelievable, but it did happen......
He and Motura sat in the city of sorrow, and the next day there was a lot of arguing in the study in Highland Park.
"Put away your set! Cochrane ......"
Will Gardner, one of Chicago's strongest defense lawyers, is yelling at Cochran, a top black defense lawyer: "APLUS is not Rodney King!" Creating ethnic strife in an election year? What if it turns into a riot donkey party? What about the current Grand Commander? What if the riot is in Chicago, Mayor Daley Jr. and Governor Flock? You can't get them to do you a favor by creating trouble for your friends! It's not '92! ”
"If you don't remember Los Angeles in '92, APLUS doesn't want to get a fair trial."
Will was always so arrogant and aggressive, and Cochrane was much older and calmer than he was, "You think about what will happen to him when there are twelve white men on the jury." ”
"No, under the Illinois Governor's Arm Act, which deals with 'business transactions,' we could have taken jurisdiction to a state court, such as the one near APLUS's voter registration address near Hyde Park, which could easily secure at least half of the African Americans on the jury based on the proportion of the population and the sensitivity of APLUS as defendants."
Diane Lockhart, a graceful white granny, defended partner Will, whose position in the profession as a Chicago lawyer had reached its peak.
"Uh, wait, I have a question......" Song Ya raised his hand as he flipped through the legal reference book.
The special prosecutor on the Foreign Affairs Committee has not yet been selected, and he is still far from becoming a defendant, so the dream lawyer group has not been formed, and these lawyers have come to Highland Park to pay additional consulting fees and working hours. At the moment, Cochran and Diane Lockhart are both qualified to compete for the position of lead lawyer or 'quarterback' on the lawyers' team, so the two sides will be arguing at every opportunity.
"Since the Barn case involves a cross-border transaction, there's a good chance that jurisdiction will also fall into the hands of the U.S. District Court in Chicago, right? Also, even if the Illinois Long Arm Act goes into effect, the most likely trial court will be the one near the original Barn Company, where the crime occurred, right? The surrounding area has been developed by Edward and the builders into a middle-class housing area, the residents are mostly white, and most of the workers and their families of the Barn fluorescent agent factory who remain there are also white, and given that Dow is likely to close the factory by the end of the year and lay off employees, they definitely don't have a better impression of me......" Song Ya asked for advice on the law that Jimmy had just taught.
"Wow wow wow oh look at ......"
Cochran's reason was supported, and he happily slapped Song Yazhi, "It's an honor to represent you APLUS, what a promising kid, sincerely, this is by no means a compliment." Is it? Myler? He asked another old black man who was present.
is called Mailer is the founder of a well-known black law firm in Chicago, and the Michelle couple are the leaders in the local legal industry, focusing on the direction of equal rights for many years, and they are very prestigious, but after all, they are old, and they mainly act as equal mascots and provide contacts in the fantasy lawyer group.
In addition, Mikwa, one of the promoters of Michelle's husband's campaign, a professor at the University of Chicago and a former White House legal adviser, is also in the study, and he will serve as a constitutional adviser to the lawyers' team.
Of course, Hamlin, a close confidant, and Goodman's scared guy in court is responsible for providing logistical support, which is probably similar to the character of Kardashian, who was by Simpson's side in the Simpson case.
The difference is that Kardashian helped Simpson recruit all the talented people, while his main backing came from the Chicago legal gang, due to the different nature of the case, he did not need the help of criminal forensic experts but needed experts in contract law and patent law.
"The opposition is valid." Old Mailer quipped in a judge's terminology.
"You know too superficially, the whole jurisdictional battle will be very complicated, it is difficult for me to explain it to you in a few words, as long as you know this alone, you can delay the trial date until next year. You're signing to a new record label next year, right? We will be stronger then. ”
Will Gardner was in charge of cross-examination in the fantasy lawyers' group, and his remark was unanimously agreed, including Cochrane and others.
"I understand, I understand, that's why I brought you here, didn't I?"
Song Ya smiled and laughed at herself, "I only have one last question left, you won't use this case to publish a book, right?" ”
Everyone else in the room laughed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the dinner has begun." Xue Linfen knocked on the door and entered.
"The lead lawyer has to be Cochrane, and that's good for me to fight for the support of the black base."
At the beginning of the grand dinner party at home, Song Ya and the others in the study were all gone before saying to Goodman, who was left alone: "You find an opportunity to persuade Diane and tell her that I am not disrespecting her abilities. ”
"Some guys in the lawyers' team are afraid that the case is not big enough and not famous enough, so you must be vigilant." Goodman took the opportunity to take eye medicine.
"I understand."
Almost all of the visitors to today's dinner are members of the Chicago legal community, and the members of the legal team and expert witnesses on contracts, patents, etc. have not yet been determined, and some networking opportunities need to be created.
Of course, Song Ya can't do this part of the work by herself, and her knowledge level is not enough.
Even if you finish three years of law school, it is not enough, and the law of the sea department is really as vast as a sea of smoke, and the interlacing is like a mountain.
"Where's little Robb?" He went out to find the well-dressed Xue Linfen.
"In the basement, Charlies is taking him to a game console." Xue Linfen replied.
"Oh, you take care of it for me."
Song Ya didn't want to deal too much with unfamiliar lawyers at this time, so she showed up at the dinner party and went to see her son.
"Haha, haha......"
There is a brand-new large game console in the basement, there are two physical props gun shooting 3D monsters on the screen, and the new product developed based on the Voodoo chip of 3DFX has received excellent response.
Little Robb sat on the high bar stool, and Charles was happily fighting monsters with a 'gun', and Dad walked behind without realizing it.
The South African girl also looked very focused, and her white and tender chin shook with the shooting action, it seems that the weight loss cause still needs to work hard.
Taking advantage of her unpreparedness, Song Ya kissed her on the cheek.
She looked back in surprise and rolled her eyes when she saw that it was her, "Robb, let your daddy play with you, sister go see the little brother......" she said in a coaxing child's voice.
"Okay." Little Robb didn't want to twist his head, so he agreed to continue killing monsters.
"What sister and brother, you're a complete mess, aren't you?" Song Ya complained about her departing back.
