Chapter 144, Crazy Minority

The native looked at the public lawyer with a puzzled expression, and after the public lawyer muttered, the native shook his head at Brooklyn.

"What language does he speak?" Brooklyn asked. The trial has stalled, and the issue that needs to be addressed urgently is language.

Brooklyn didn't know how the judge on duty heard a person who couldn't understand English, and he didn't want to know.

Now he just wants to solve the problem.

"Your Excellency, Judge." The lawyer stood up

"I'm an Aguacalient Indian. Their people have lived in the Palm Springs area for thousands of years and still have about 500 members. ”

"There's a lot missing in their language, and there's a lot of vocabulary in modern English that they don't have in their language."

"Do you speak their language?" Brooklyn asked.

"I can only communicate simply," the lawyer shook his head

"I can't explain the technical vocabulary during the hearing to him at all." Translation in court is not only about translating English into a certain language, but also about being accurate and concise, without misinterpretation, exaggeration, or belittling.

It's not at all the level that ordinary translators can achieve. As a federal court, in order to avoid parties from other countries who do not speak English, they usually prepare an interpreter. Y is also prepared for a number of commonly used languages, such as Chinese, German, French, Russian, etc., but when it comes to a language that may only be spoken by 500 people, the court really can't do anything.

Brooklyn mentioned 033 to the morning, thinking that it was a simple eucalyptus, but I didn't expect that the eucalyptus was simple, but there was a problem in communication.

He could only announce the suspension of the trial, send someone to find a translator, and wait until an interpreter was found before the trial resumed. Neil waved at Brooklyn and obediently walked over to Pete in the gallery to follow.

Pete stepped forward to say a few words to Brooklyn and turned to leave. The California native muttered a few words to the lawyer with a confused face, and was taken away with a confused expression.

The duty judge had previously ruled that the defendant was placed in provisional detention because he had no fixed place to live and could not afford to pay bail.

Taking advantage of the gap between the 034 client's preparations, Brooklyn had a headache and discussed the translation with Bob.

"There are only 500 people, and I guess we need to send someone to the Palm Springs area of California to find their people to come and act as interpreters." Bob Road

"I've been to the Palm Springs area, where tourism is very strong, and locals and tourists are very well connected."

"It's not a question of translation now." Brooklyn thinks more

"The problem is that their language may not have specialized legal vocabulary, and I am worried that even if I invite an interpreter, I will not be able to meet the requirements and accurately translate the trial to the parties."

"Moreover, they belong to the same ethnic group, so the translation is likely to be subjective." It's not that Brooklyn looks at the natives through tinted glasses, but that's exactly what it is.

This is likely to involve hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation and several years in prison. If they can translate calmly and accurately in the face of this kind of thing, then Brooklyn can only say that they have found a talent.

He is suitable for obtaining a lawyer's certificate. [To tell the truth,Recently chased more,Change the source switch,Read aloud with more timbre,.yeguoyueduAndroidApple can be.】

When faced with vital interests, people often cannot maintain impartiality and objectivity, otherwise everyone is qualified to be judges.

"We can have people look for non-Aguacalient Indians in California to be interpreters, and if they can't find them, then go to Aguacalient Indians." Bob suggested.

Brooklyn couldn't think of a better way, so she nodded in agreement. Speaking kung fu, 034 parties have entered.

034's case is also very simple, both the prosecution and defense are from Baruch College, and the prosecution Daley sues Lossfield, a member of the school's football team, for lewd on him because Lossfield was lying on top of him.

The prosecution said in the indictment that many people in the training ground were able to see it. Daley demanded $500,000 from Lossfield.

Brooklyn thought the book was simple, but with the lessons of the 033 eucalyptus, he began to revisit the book.

First, Daley's gender is male, and secondly, Rollsfield's gender is also male.

So the question is, why did Lossfield molten a same-sex person? Could he be gay?

Brooklyn didn't know. Because of 033's experience, his thinking began to diverge. He even wanted to ask the judge on duty, why did this kind of tattered eucalyptus be accepted?

Shouldn't this go to the state courts? Brooklyn set his sights on the prosecution bench. There sat two bearded men in skirts and fancy dresses.

One is the client Daley, and the other is his lawyer. They whispered as if no one was around, and every now and then they let out a coquettish laugh.

Brooklyn looked again at the defense bench on the other side. Lossfield was a tall, muscular young man with a good look, and a few marks of puberty on his face.

He was keeping his head down, not knowing what he was thinking. His lawyer, a public lawyer, was talking to him in a whisper.

From time to time, the lawyer glanced up at Brooklyn. This looks like a normal person. It seems that the members of the Baruch College football team are all like Barrett.

Brooklyn thought to herself. Especially when compared to the plaintiffs. He glanced at the plaintiff's dock again. At the request of the prosecution and defense, the trial was held in closed session, and at the request of the defendant Lossfield, the jury verdict was waived, and therefore the judge will decide on it alone.

The door closes and the trial begins. The defense lawyer stood up and bowed slightly to Brooklyn before speaking

"He ......"

"Ahem!" The lawyer had barely said a word before he was interrupted by the prosecution. Counsel for the prosecution stood up.

“obje!! Call discrimination! He spoke softly, which did not match his tall stature.

But that's not the point, the point is ......

"Calling discrimination?" Not only did the defense lawyer have a question mark on his face, but Brooklyn was also stunned. He hadn't heard of the term 'name discrimination'.

Of course, we can understand what is called discrimination literally, but the key point is that the defense lawyer only said one word, how can it be called discrimination?

I saw the prosecution lawyer ask unhurriedly

"What are your pronouns?" [Note 1] The defense lawyer was a little confused, and he was a little suspicious that he had a hearing problem.

"For example, my pronouns are she/her. This means that my psychological self-gender perception is she/her. ”

"If your mental self-perceived gender is male, your pronouns are he/him." The prosecution lawyer patiently explained, his head slightly raised, looking very proud and unfathomable.

“mypronounsishe\/him。” The defense lawyer replied. [My pronoun is he, which means self-identified as a man] The defense lawyer is obviously unprepared for this lawsuit.

Brooklyn speculated that he might have been the same as himself when he received the indictment, simply believing that the plaintiff was gay and that the defendant's actions were offensive to him.

But after listening to the popular science of the prosecution lawyer, Brooklyn and the defense lawyer realized that the key to this trial is not whether the plaintiff is gay, but the terrifying LGBT, or to put it more completely, LGBTTQQIAAP+.

The defense lawyer, who realized this, immediately raised his hand and surrendered. He gave up his work ethic as a lawyer.

From the sentence he answered, it was clear that he was already planning to give up his client. Brooklyn also wanted to give up.

He didn't want to provoke the group. He is the man who aspires to become the chief justice of the Supreme Court, and once he provokes this group, his career will be completely ruined.

Brooklyn doesn't think that the pronouns spoken by the prosecution attorney are the whole story. He has a brief understanding of the LGBTTQQIAAP+ group, and there are many tricks to personal pronouns alone.

The questions raised by the prosecution's counsel are limited to whether the psychological gender is male or female, and in fact there are many people whose pronouns are not people at all.

Some people think they are turtles, some people think they are stones, some people think they are light, they are air, they are water droplets, they are trisolarans, they are two-way foils, they are M87 nebulae...... As far as Brooklyn knows, the traditional 'whatisyourname' is no longer applicable, and it is possible to be accused of asking for someone's name in this way.

A new way of asking questions is emerging – whatisyourpronouns.

When the other person answers his or her own personal pronoun, replace the 'your' in 'whatisyourname' with the personal pronoun he answered.

That's the right way to ask. The other day, Brooklyn saw on the news that the president of a real estate developer made a comment on the matter.

The developer pointed to his female assistant and said, 'She's a beautiful lady,' and everyone laughed underneath.

He laughed along, and continued

"But I wouldn't say that. Because we don't allow that to say that, women. You used to be able to say, 'You look so beautiful,'but now if you say that, they're going to sue you." "Even the president doesn't dare to provoke this group, why should Brooklyn dare?

Brooklyn was about to ring the gavel and announce the suspension of the trial. He was ready to return to the inner court, and it was okay to throw Ben Yu's indictment in the face of the judge on duty, or shove it in his ass.

Why is this eucalyptus picked? Why was it assigned to Court 9? Brooklyn's trick was seen through by the prosecution's lawyers.

He came to the judge's bench, brought a complex aroma, and reached out to hold down the gavel.

"Your Excellency, please give me a fair trial." ta said solemnly

"Otherwise, I will complain that you obstruct justice and are suspected of discriminating against the dual gender." Brooklyn held the gavel and stared at him.

He could see the smugness and confidence in his eyes. This made him angry, and the more he burned, the more he burned.

"I am exercising the powers conferred on me by the Constitution, Your Excellency." TA continued

"Please don't stare at me like that. Otherwise I will sue you for lewd x. ”

"Take your hands off my desk." Brooklyn said with restraint. He glanced at Brooklyn, and instead of taking it away, he put his hand over the mallet pad and raised his eyebrows.

"Contempt of court, obstruction of the trial." Brooklyn turned to a nervous Nelly and said

"For the record, a fine of $1,000, 100 hours of community service, and a weekly report of progress to the court during the period of community service." Nelly didn't do it right away, but looked at Brooklyn worriedly.

Brooklyn shook his head at her, indicating that he was calm.

"You're discriminating!" TA screamed, and both palms slapped on the table, crackling.

"So Judge Brooklyn Lee was so impartial! Discriminate against us minorities! Discriminate against non-binary groups! Discrimination against LGBTTQQIAAp+ groups! Ray and the other two bailiffs were stunned.

"You're discriminating! I'm going to sue you! I'm going to sue you for discriminating against minorities! ”

"You're obstructing justice!" Brooklyn calmly placed the gavel lightly on the back of Ta's hand and said in a deep voice

"Go out and take the elevator, go downstairs and turn left."

"Or go out and take the elevator up to the 3rd floor and go straight to the right, the innermost office on the left."

"If you need to file a complaint with the Judicial Conduct Commission, please call this number." Brooklyn said as he beckoned to pull a piece of paper from Bob's arms.

"If you are preparing to appeal to the Second Circuit, please contact this number." He pulled out another piece of paper.

"If you are going to file a complaint directly with the Supreme People's Court, or the Department of Justice, or the President, please contact these numbers." As he spoke, he pulled out several sheets of paper and spread them out in front of him.

With a stunned expression, Brooklyn stood up

"This case involves a minority, and because the prosecution's lawyer suspects me of discrimination, I will later apply for a proposal to change the trial process, which will no longer be a closed trial, and the trial process will be open to the public."

"I now declare the result of this trial to be a miscarriage. Later, the indictment will be returned to the judge on duty. However, after the Duty Judge appoints the Trial Judge, the Trial Judge will be responsible for the entire process. [Note 2]

"In addition, I welcome any party or group of parties to actively lodge a complaint with the Judicial Conduct Commission or other authorities. I would welcome an investigation into my work by the Commission on Judicial Conduct. With that, Brooklyn glanced contemptuously at the wide-eyed prosecution lawyer.

The prosecution lawyer came to his senses, screamed 'ah', and pointed at Brooklyn and shouted

"You're discriminating! You're discriminating! ”

"Can you change that?" Brooklyn asked impatiently.

"You admit it?" The defense lawyer looked surprised, pointed at Brooklyn and turned back to the others and yelled

"He admits he's discriminating against me! He confessed! Ignoring the madman, Brooklyn pulled out a form and said as he filled out the indictment

"Whereas... Well... Alpha... In view of Alpha Corey's performance in court, the court will later issue a restraining order prohibiting Alpha Corey from practicing law for a period of time depending on Alpha Corey's performance. ”

"This restraining order will be submitted to the bar association later." After filling it out, Brooklyn showed the form to everyone and handed it to Bob.

Bob was just about to get it, but Alpha was one step ahead. TA snatched the form and tore it to shreds like crazy.

Pointing at Brooklyn and scolding. Brooklyn's face turned gloomy, and without him having to speak, Ray had already subdued Alpha, who was trying to attack Brooklyn, with two marshals.

"Now you're suspected of discrimination." Brooklyn said in a deep voice.

"Alpha Corey was detained for 20 days on suspicion of making discriminatory remarks, verbal abuse, threats and intimidation of the judge, and attempting to assault the judge. Bail is prohibited for any person or group of people for any reason. ”

"If they want to go to the doctor, take the doctor to the prison and show them. If they are going to take medication, have the prison doctor diagnose it and prescribe it. ”

"Visitation is prohibited during this period. The location of community service was changed to the Asian American community. ”
