Chapter 207: The Harvest Season

Brooklyn is called in by John Manning to talk before leaving. The Federation also has the habit of respecting teachers, but this habit is not as deep as that on the other side of the ocean.

If it is on the other side of the ocean, even if Brooklyn has been out of school for many years, seeing John Manning again will still be like a mouse meeting a cat, naturally shorter.

But in the Commonwealth, Brooklyn's conversation with John Manning was more egalitarian. Of course, it will not be absolute equality, but this inequality comes more from the gap between the two in the judicial field, rather than from the identity of teachers and students.

John Manning remembered Brooklyn Lee as a student, praised him twice, praised him for his performance in the fight for Lyleigh Crewe's legacy, and gave Brooklyn time to come back and give the students a few public classes to see the world.

In recent years, Harvard has long fallen behind in the battle for the first place with Yale, and Harvard's younger generation has rarely seen available talents, and Brooklyn is one of the leading among the younger generation.

John Manning finally patted Brooklyn on the shoulder and sent him away. Separated from John Manning, Brooklyn rushes back to his hotel to meet up with Bob and Ray.

The two were not allowed to enter the chapel without an invitation. In fact, many of the participants did not bring assistants or secretaries or assistants to the meeting.

Brooklyn didn't tell them what the meeting was about, only that there was a high-threshold party, and only those with an invitation could enter.

Seeing that Brooklyn came back safe and sound, Ray was relieved and put on his coat and went out to do his own business.

Bob said hello to Ray and found a bar to hang out until late at night. ……………………………… When Brooklyn left Harvard, it was already the second day.

His mood was not calm. That little gathering represented so many things. On the plane back to New York, Brooklyn saw that the findings of the two justices had been published on the official website of the Judicial Conduct Committee.

They have been reinstated. The appointment of the chief justice of the Second Circuit has also been made – earlier than John Manning had estimated.

It was the same circuit judge named by John Manning who was also a good partner of Lyleigh Crewe.

Brooklyn talked to the immediate boss for a while at the meeting and found that the other party was very kind. These are small things, but what matters is John Manning's attitude behind the seemingly honest Yale professor.

They're going to do it to the FBI and the broadcasters! John Manning did not clearly assign tasks, indicating who should do what, how to do it, and how to cooperate.

But he gave an attitude. When Harvard and Yale joined forces, no one could afford to underestimate this force.

Brooklyn has no doubt that the F.B.I. and broadcasters will fall along. Brooklyn didn't know if they had a bit of a sincere effect on the FBI and the broadcaster, or if Lyley Crewe was just an excuse.

But none of that matters. By knowing the news in advance, he can avoid being on the wrong side and even get more.

In fact, Brooklyn is now reaping the rewards. In the midst of this storm over New York City, he ate the fattest plate of dishes on the table, gaining recognition from the judicial community.

Participation in this secret meeting comes from a higher level of acceptance. And judging from the attitudes of the participants, everyone has good intentions, and does not reject Brooklyn, which is just a federal district judge.

Other than that, his biggest takeaway is to spread out his network. This gathering made him show his face in front of a group of high-level officials, and it was confirmed that he would join the 'academy' camp and become a member of the 'academy'.

In fact, his resume also destined him to join the 'academic' camp, and the 'Harvard' camp of the 'academic'.

The academic school has a huge voice in the federal judiciary. The predecessors have already used the wisdom of others to build a platform and pave the way.

In the Federation, if you want to become a lawyer, you need to obtain a lawyer's license, and you can only practice if you hold a lawyer's license.

If you want to join a law firm, you need to look at your background. A nerd from Harvard Law School is more likely to be favored by a large law firm than a seasoned outsider.

If you want to become a judge, you need to be reviewed, and if you want to be promoted, you also need to be reviewed. The rigor of auditing outsiders is naturally different from auditing 'own people'.

Outsiders may need to review the judge's social relations, rummage through the judge's judgment file, and check whether there is a record of complaints, whether there is a record of being investigated, and whether there is a bad record...... It is much easier to review 'your own people', first call to inform, meet again, participate in a few drinking parties, draw two files, listen to two court trial scenes, eat, drink, and have fun, and the review is over.

This kind of discrimination is not only on the other side of the ocean, but also in the Federation, and even in every corner of the world.

In addition, making mistakes or being criticized is no longer supported alone. We will also be notified if there is any news.

Just like Lyleigh Crewe. The academics don't care whether Lyry Crewe is red or not, and if they dare to move Lyley Crewe for no reason, the academics will support the entire judicial community.

Without the resources of the academy, Lyry Crewe would not have survived now, and may have disappeared from this world as early as a few years ago when the FBI's purge began.

Looking at Brooklyn again, the layout of a purge operation, a small letter of complaint, and a modest suicide almost ruined his future.

If it were Lyri Crewe, he wouldn't even need to come forward himself, and everything would be solved. These are the hidden perks of joining the 'Academy' that Brooklyn will soon be able to use and will benefit for life.

…………………… They moved faster than Brooklyn had imagined. Monday, September 3rd.

Early in the morning, when Brooklyn came to the courthouse, he saw Michael being taken away by the Judicial Conduct Committee.

He was also taken away by the judge's colleague who was hearing the case of Lylie Crewe. Bob brings the latest news later: there are complaints that Michael has falsified his identity, saying that the real Judge Michael died two years ago.

The complainant is a family member of the real Judge Michael. The judge's colleagues were taken away on the grounds of dereliction of duty, accepting bribes, obstruction of judicial fairness, and unfair judgment...... A long list of accusations.

Later, members of the Judicial Conduct Committee took all the contents of the two men's offices, not even their desks.

At noon, Wood Webster of the New York District Attorney's Office was taken away and complained of dereliction of duty, bribery, and obstruction of justice...... Another long list of accusations.

Compared with Michael and his colleagues in the judge, Wood Webster's treatment was not so good, and some media photographed him being directly hooded and sent to the car.

In the afternoon of the same day, FBI agent Pete, all members of the BUA, and the Scorpion team were all suspended and put under review.

Several FBI executives rushed to New York and confronted law enforcement officers. It is said that the scene was very tense for a while, and the two sides even took out matching guns, but in the end these people were taken away, and the FBI did not even catch a single hair.

Subsequently, it was revealed by the media that a number of FBI actions were stopped, and the court's review of the FBI's action approval order became strict.

At least 10 squads have been prosecuted for acting early without obtaining a court warrant. In the evening of the same day, people found that the news programs on TV had become unnutritious, and the major media reported at length on the two or three things of Hollywood stars, and kept silent about current affairs and political news.

The official websites of broadcasters have also become unusually concise, and people often have to turn through dozens of pages to find a piece of news about current events or political coverage.

The eerily quiet on the web. No one is talking about TV channels, and no one is talking about the FBI operation being stopped.

No one is clamoring for freedom of speech and freedom of the press. The whole world seems to be a lot cleaner. Monday, September 10.

The results of the New York gubernatorial race were announced, and Winston was elected by a landslide. This news finally made some waves of boring news coverage.

All New York state media outlets reported positively, inviting experts to give a positive interpretation of Winston's victory and look forward to Winston's premiership.

Public opinion is clear, as if the whole world is at peace. In this atmosphere, which cannot be said to be false or true, the elder Olaf deliberately kills people in e.. Y hearings.

Brooklyn had a short time to attend. The auditorium was packed, half of them were journalists, and half of them were 'strange' faces in suits and leather shoes.

Sitting next to Olaf Sr. was Danny Crane, a lawyer from Boston. He is a legendary lawyer with a prominent position in Boston's legal circles.

Danny Crane is known for his tough style and high win rate, which of course corresponds to the high fees.

Before the trial, some media noticed the arrival of Danny Crane and interviewed him. Danny Crane stated that he played the role of an 'assigned' public lawyer in Ben.

As for how a Boston-based lawyer was assigned by the New York City Bar Association and the courts, he said it was an interesting topic that they could go to his hotel room and talk about it in depth.

Danny Crane showed Brooklyn what it means to be truly tough. From the first words of the judge's words, Danny Crane has been working against the judge.

The judge said

"Now consider the bail request of the accused suspect." Danny Crane said directly

"My client has not been convicted in a trial, and he should not be called a suspect, and I ask the judge to apologize to my client." The judge was directly blindsided.

Prosecutor Anne Aldington said

"Considering that the defendant has transportation and has an extensive social network, the prosecution recommends that bail not be granted." Danny Crane made a direct mockery

"We applied for an adjournment, and I was going to take my client to the hospital to see his legs, so that he would not be able to run. We can also saw off our hands if necessary. The FBI agent who arrested Olaf Sr. was also at the scene, and he couldn't recognize the words at this time

"Olaf is a dangerous person, and a wrench was found not far from him at the scene of the arrest." Danny Crane spat directly at the agent

"Are you a judge? You're not a judge! Are you a lawyer? You're not a lawyer! You're nothing! It's not time for you to speak! Shut up! He then unleashed his taunt at the judge

"Hah! Is it time for the evidence hearing? Your Excellency, when will it be our turn to apply for witnesses to appear in court? Brooklyn sat in the gallery and looked at the red-faced judge, who was suffocated, and felt bored.

Under Danny Crane's rampage, Olaf Sr.'s bail was set at $5,000.

Rang embarrassedly announced the time for submitting the list of evidence, and announced that the prosecution and defense would withdraw from the courtroom. In fact, it doesn't matter who the judge is, it doesn't matter if Danny Crane defends Olaf Sr. or Sara defends Olaf Sr.

It was a trial that was predestined from the start. In the name of impartiality, the judiciary as a whole controls the judges, the prosecution and the defence.

When both the referee and the match are controlled by the same voice, the excitement of the game will depend on the thickness of the sound.

The judicial profession is face-saving, so the trial of old Olaf is destined to be wonderful. If the judiciary is thick-skinned enough to be completely shameless, they can even directly ask the courts at all levels to dismiss the indictment.

The grounds for rejection ranged from a misspelling of a word to insufficient evidence. Of course, the judicial profession is not a mad dog, and they want to be embarrassed if they bite anyone they see.

This can be seen from the fact that they need to take time to move on with the death of Lyric Crewe, and it can also be seen from the fact that they are operating in the name of Lylee Crewe.

Lyrie Crewe is a 'great man' who made a great contribution to the federal judiciary during his lifetime and will continue to do so after his death.

The reason why Jean was appointed as Judge Ben Yu was because Jean was not a member of the Academy. The current e.. Michael and his fellow judges were taken away, and of the remaining 18 judges, only Jean was an outsider.

Coincidentally, all three of them have different identities, but none of them are members of the academy. Michael belongs to the FBI, a fellow judge who went to law school but didn't finish it, and he changed careers between college and becoming a judge.

Jean was an out-and-out outsider, and before he became a judge, he was a journalist. It is self-evident that the academics, or the judiciary, mean this.

Especially after Brooklyn received a call from that kind boss. Brooklyn didn't say anything at the Harvard party, and as the lowest person in the room, he should have learned to listen, not 'dictate.'"

That will give people the impression of being 'unreliable' or 'reckless' or 'difficult to achieve great things'. He doesn't need those labels.

What he needs is the labels of 'calm', 'promising' and 'reliable'. It's foolish to speak out in an organization that you're just joining without knowing the whole thing.

In the words of the other side of the ocean, it is 'grandstanding'. Sensationalism does not make him the core of the group, it will only be excluded, despised, and marginalized.

Brooklyn didn't want to be grandstanding, he didn't want to be marginalized, he wanted to use the power of this group to enter the Supreme Court and become a justice.
