In addition, although this guy has little qualifications, he has made a lot of trouble in the judicial circles in recent years, and the state high court, the federal circuit court, and even the federal Supreme Court have left his heroic posture full of spittle, many of which have been drawn by court painters and published in major newspapers and magazines.

An ordinary lawyer may not be able to clear the customs in his lifetime, and he easily achieved the achievement......

And all of them are won!

Earl Warren is a notoriously difficult liberal, and it's no small miracle that Edward, as a conservative, was able to win his first Supreme Court victory from him.

This, coupled with his debates with William Barkley Jr. and Dworkin, also made his political stance widely known.

The '70s were an era of openness and progress, liberal ideas prevailed, or rather, they were popular, and Earl Warren and a group of liberal justices stepped on the gas pedal for it, and the entire United States was rushing on the path charted by the Democrats.

But don't forget, the United States is a country founded by the Puritans, and conservatives may not be in the majority, but conservative ideas are the theoretical cornerstone of the country, not to mention, in fact, conservatives occupy most of the country's resources, and they are the ones behind the state.

They attach great importance to the cultivation of echelon talents, while Edward seems to be a bit mixed and a bit liberal.

The conservative boss is not stupid, he is well versed in the truth of Zhou Gong listening to his words and watching his deeds, and looking at this kid's defense and defense ideas, you can know that he is definitely the successor of capitalism.

Edward became the youngest visiting scholar ever at the Stanford Center for Advanced Study in Behavioral Sciences, which was a great honor from there.

But someone doesn't want to go, Nima!

California is on the West Coast, and it takes more than eight hours to fly to New York!

It's equivalent to going to work.

But he can't go away, he also knows that the opportunity is rare, and it took Lustberg a lot of effort to get it, and he is an exception within an exception.

Traditionally, he would have to be at least thirty years old and have been a faculty member at Yale for a number of years to be eligible to apply, preferably with a Guggenheim Scholar or something, in order to be famous.

So in a sense, Edward's trip was somewhat gilded, of course, he didn't think so, but felt that it was well deserved.

Not to mention that this mentality is really very American, of course, the cheeky is too.

Today's meal is a kind of meeting for the team to get acquainted with each other.

In the future, the division of labor is to make decisions on major matters to Edward, and at the same time be responsible for pulling some big cases; Bert Witzleben and Kamazeping discussed the day-to-day work, and they were able to deal with the general petty lawsuits and legal problems, and when they encountered difficult legal problems, they went to Lustberg, who could help coordinate and bring in experts in the relevant fields to serve as consultants.

Tomorrow, he's going to report to Stanford.

After the dinner ended, everyone said goodbye, and Edward drove Roseberg back to her parents' house.

"I think it's like a junior high school date......" The car stopped at the intersection and Edward pulled the handbrake, his face full of unhappiness.

"How?"

"When the time comes, I have to go home, and they won't let me sit inside, of course, even if you invite, I won't go, I don't want to face the concerned eyes of your parents!"

"Are you afraid of Judith......" Ruthberg curled her hair over her shoulders around her fingers and let it loose, and so on and so forth, having a lot of fun, and she was more like a young and beautiful woman than an inviolable Yale flower.

"Ah......h

Before she could react, someone's lips were already on the ......

……

……

……

It took a while for Rustberg to pant and push him away, "Alright, I've got to tell Judith a bedtime story, good night, alpaca Ed......"

"Are you a little cruel?" Edward bent over and wept with a sad face.

"Well, I think I'm gentle and kind, and the men who pursue me say so, don't you think so?" Rustberg glared at Edward as she opened the door.

In the face of threats, he had to soften (referring to attitudes and expressions, don't pinch me!). "No, no, my Ruth is the loveliest woman......"

The smile on his face is more ugly than crying......

"That's good," Roseberg had already stepped out of the car with one leg, and then suddenly retracted as if she remembered something.

Someone was overjoyed.

"What do you think?" Ruthberg gave him a charming look, "I just suddenly remembered something, well, Stanford will probably invite me to attend one of their law seminars next spring, in fact, they have been sending invitations for the past few years, but I have never been available to ......"

"So!" Someone has a silly smile like a Shiba Inu, or is it a Samoyed based on its size, but it's probably a husky considering the IQ at this time?

"Hey, after all, that's also the kindness of Stanford Law School, and I feel a little embarrassed to refuse every time......"

"Yes, yes," Edward nodded like pounded garlic, "must go, must go"

"Stanford Law School is not as good as New Haven and Cambridge (where Harvard is located), but it's pretty powerful, and you should go, you should go, and the East Coast and West Coast legal scholars should be more connected," someone said.

It's just that the fox's tail was revealed in the next moment: "Don't take Judith with you, children will be very tired on a long journey...... You can ask your parents to take care of them for a few days, I think she likes her grandparents a lot. ”

"But children can't leave their mothers......" Lustberg laughed slyly, her upper teeth biting her lip gently, her amber eyes smiling, the corners of her eyes teasing and playful......

"Ahem, she, she's also grown up, she's already a six-year-old child...... I'm going to be able to travel to Europe on my own at this point......" Edward argued dryly.

"Really? So, Julith will probably be able to go to California to accompany me? ”

Ruth Edward was about to cry......

Ruthberg kissed him on the cheek: "Forget it, don't tease you, Judith is already in elementary school, and she definitely can't ask for leave to accompany me to Stanford, so ...... I'm going home now...... bye”

"Bye" Edward snorted and responded wistfully.

Ah, the mountain villa, facing the beautiful lake, spring, everything is recovering, this is the season of what a year!

I couldn't help but hear the magnetic voice of Mr. Zhao in my head.

In short, the trip to Stanford must not pull the crotch!

Without the existence of that little demon, I don't believe that Ruthberg can escape from the palm of his hand.

……

Three days later, he moved into a villa in Palo Aldo.

The conditions are really nothing to say.

He left New York in the morning and arrived in California in the evening.

After dinner, he took a hot shower, then threw himself on the big bed and buried his head in a goose down pillow.

For him, getting enough sleep is a luxury, and he usually relies on his brain to wake him up every day.

But since I arrived at Stanford, it can be understood as some kind of paid vacation, at least the pace of life can be slowed down and I can sleep until I wake up naturally......

However......

At seven o'clock the next morning, he was woken up by the telephone ringing.

Picking up the microphone, the voice on the other side was not the traditional soft voice of Californians, but rather rather rough and loud, straight to the point: "I want to talk to you about Franklin's case!" ”

On such a beautiful morning, no one wanted to talk about work, and neither did Edward.

In fact, he has seen many people claiming to be victims and trying to use his expertise to overturn the case, but when he retrieved the case file, he knew that this bastard was probably trying to take advantage of the law.

He really wanted to scold the past, but after all, this was Stanford, and the other party found his head directly, obviously not an ordinary person, so he decided to go around a little.

"What case? Who is Bruce Franklin? What charges did he receive? ”

After his mind cleared a little, he asked, the name is indeed a little impressive, but only a little, I should have heard it in the news reports, but never in my heart.

Similar names and situations appear in daily news reports, becoming a part of the life of city people, such as the "Chicago 8 case", "GD City 9 case" and so on, so that when he hears "Indianapolis 500", his first reaction must be that this is an epic case, when in fact this is a car Grand Prix......

The voice on the other side looked rather eager: "You said you don't know about the Franklin case?" Oh, God. Well, let me tell you, he's a professor at Stanford, in charge of English literature, and he was originally offered a lifetime contract, but now he's been fired. We need help, Leonard Dambo said you might be willing to help us, so, I called you right away. ”

Indeed, really immediately.

Edward didn't even go to the office once.

"But I want to say that this is part of my vacation, and I have no intention of participating in it." Edward declined.

Joke, Stanford fired his own professor, who apparently felt unconvinced and wanted to file a lawsuit.

It's better not to get involved in this kind of bullshit thing, anyway, this is Stanford's internal affairs, and it's better not to interfere as a Yale, although the federal government is very good at it.

Stanford University is also a financial father, he eats and drinks well here, so why bother to cause other trouble.

"Actually, I'm an outsider, so why don't you go to the professors at Stanford Law School, first of all, Stanford Law School is quite strong, and secondly, many of them are also stalwarts in the field of civil rights and academic freedom, and they are very well-known in the United States."

"That's right, Mr. Yang, I'm a member of the Stanford University Faculty Political Action Group," the other party just started to report to his home.

This made Edward frown, he left New Haven to avoid the noisy political movement, and on the first day after crossing the continent, he encountered something similar, what a hell!

But then the other party's voice made Edward feel a little heavy: "Stanford Law School? They are our enemies, and we can't get any help from law school. Principal Lyman held them all in the palm of his hand, and the young teachers who were willing to stand on my side did not dare to speak. ”

"And this?" Edward froze.

You must know that this is Stanford, not Berkeley, which is a public university, and the power of politicians can easily invade campuses, and using political force to drive out some unpopular thorns is also a kind of routine operation (of course, it is rare, because thorns usually admit it). ）

But Stanford is also a well-known private university, just like Yale, in a private university, the authority of professors is extremely heavy, unless this guy really does something unreasonable, otherwise a guy who gets a lifetime appointment can die on campus as long as he wants.

Why, both the West Coast and the East Coast will have different approaches to this kind of problem?

"Well, then you can have Franklin's lawyer call me," Edward said after a moment's thought, "I'd rather discuss the law with him, I think it would be interesting." ”

"That's the biggest problem," said the other side, "Franklin doesn't have a lawyer. He had used to find a lawyer, but now he ran out of money. The school was reluctant to use public funds to hire a lawyer for him, and he also approached a professor at the law school, but no one came forward. ”

"Frankly, I don't believe what you say, ma'am," Edward said, "this is Stanford, not Moscow or Leningrad University, and I don't believe that the university will fire a tenured professor without giving him any chance to defend himself, and no law professor will stand up for justice." At least the law school professors will serve as advisors to him and give advice......"

It's like that at Yale, it's at Harvard.

The other party smiled: "It seems that you really don't know the situation here, maybe you won't be surprised in a few days." I wonder if we can meet and talk? ”

"I'm sorry, I have to say it again, I'm here to do my studies and relax, it's actually my personal vacation," Edward said.

It is very unethical to disturb someone else's vacation in the United States.

"Okay, then, we can come out for lunch and let you know about our situation, we won't ask you for legal assistance. And I think Franklin's case might serve as a case study for you. The other party took a step back.

Edward thought that if that was the case, he might as well go and meet them, "but I would like to reiterate that I only promised to meet, and there will be no promises, and you should not count on me!" ”

Jokes, a happy time that has been hard to get, the ghost wants to touch this kind of thing.

In fact, Edward is right in one sentence, this is not Moscow or Leningrad, the kind of school that directly fires a lifelong professor and does not allow him to plead, and no one stands up for him, it will not happen, or even if there is such a school, it is most likely a public university, and a private school is not so domineering.

And even if there is such a thing, then the media will have fried the pot a long time ago, and Western reporters have always run faster than anyone else when they hear this kind of thing, and no matter what they do, they must be the first to scold the school authorities.

That was the case in New Haven then.
