Seeing that Yu Wendong was a little hesitant, Meng Guangda explained: "In ancient times, there was a 'rite into punishment', and the rite was the standard for punishment, although this was the standard of the feudal dynasty and had a lot of irrationality, but it is undeniable that 'punishment' is like a big tree, and its roots (that is, 'rites') are deeply rooted in the soil (people's hearts) and have affected the morality of contemporary people.

If there is no 'rite', 'punishment' is a rootless thing floating in the air, and the two skins of the human mouth can be said in any way, and there will be a situation of 'you didn't hit it, why do you want to help', this seems to be a person's words, but in fact it is extremely scary to think about it. Do you say that his foundation in jurisprudence is not solid? Definitely not, because he doesn't have modern 'etiquette' in his heart, and he doesn't know why it is.

In foreign countries, why 'battered woman syndrome' can be applied to criminal law is not decided by a certain jurist or a certain group of jurists sitting in an air-conditioned room, but by the justice in the hearts of the people, and by the moral standards that exist deep in their hearts. ”

"Master, can things in psychology be applied to criminal law?" After a while, Yu Wendong asked suspiciously.

"Well, how to put it. You know a lie detector, right? Meng Guangda asked.

"Yes. However, polygraph results cannot be used as evidence in criminal cases. Yuwendong replied.

Yes, while polygraph results cannot be used as evidence, they can help to review and judge the authenticity of evidence. Polygraph is the use of psychological theories.

In fact, I personally believe that any discipline has interoperability and reference, especially in the professional field. The complexity of a criminal case means that it cannot be isolated, and it will certainly be applied to other areas of expertise, such as DNA testing.

Our so-called disciplines are all artificially separated, but in fact, all knowledge is a whole. Meng Guangda picked up the large glass teacup, took a sip of tea, and replied.

"Lao Meng, what is the outcome of your case?" Just as Meng Guangda and Yu Wendong were talking, Fang Yi's voice came from not far away.

Following Yun Qiao behind Fang Yi, they had just returned from the court.

"The collegial panel did not announce the verdict in court, we are waiting for news, the people's will, the death penalty is unlikely, and the court should be more cautious." Meng Guangda got up and smiled: "How is your case?" ”

"Acquitted in court." Yun Qiao took over the conversation.

The court held that the private prosecutor Liu Changshui entrusted the stainless steel putty knife to the defendant Ma Liangyou for processing, and although the defendant formed de facto possession of the stainless steel putty knife, after the defendant's son Ma Xu stole and sold the stainless steel putty knife entrusted by the private prosecutor, the defendant had repeatedly negotiated with the private prosecutor for compensation, so the defendant did not refuse to return it, and the defendant's conduct did not meet the constitutive characteristics of the crime of embezzlement. Accordingly, the defendant Ma Liangyou was found not guilty.

"Let's go inside and talk." Fang Yi's face was happy.

At this moment, Zhou Ying walked into the law firm from the outside with her bag on her face, and saw that Fang Yi and everyone were there, so she walked over quickly: "Lawyer Fang, something happened to Wanhua United Law Firm." ”

Everyone was stunned.

In Fang Yi's office, everyone sat on the sofa and looked at Zhou Ying with shocked expressions.

"How do you know?" Fang Yi snuffed out the cigarette butt and asked.

"Many people in the WeChat circle of friends are forwarding, there are pictures and truths." Zhou Ying took out her mobile phone and opened the WeChat circle of friends: "I don't believe you." ”

Zhou Ying has been working in Wanhua United Law Firm for a long time, and she has many friends in the firm, and she has also added a lot of WeChat friends, so she will know what is happening in the firm.

Just when everyone was looking through the WeChat circle of friends with their mobile phones, Song Hui knocked on the door and walked in: "Something happened to the old club, do you know?" ”

"We've just heard about it, too." Meng Guangda looked up and replied.

"I saw Director Hua at the door just now, and he just left our law firm." Song Hui pulled a chair and sat down, and said.

"Now Lawyer Zou is miserable, this is called self-inflicted sin and cannot live." Zhou Ying put down her phone and gloated with a look of schadenfreude.

"Alright, let's get busy first." After Fang Yi finished speaking, he got up and left the office.

Wan Kefa looked at the delicate small iron kettle on the induction cooker, heard the knock on the door, and when he looked up, he happened to see Fang Yi walking in.

"Here, taste my newly bought tea. Authentic old white tea. Wan Kefa smiled and poured Fang Yi a cup of tea and handed it over.

"Well, the tea is good." Fang Yi asked tentatively, "I heard that something happened to Wanhua United Law Firm?" ”

"Well, Hua Liancheng came over just now, and we chatted. A domestic law firm dares to let foreign capital control the market, and there is really no one who has the courage to do so. A few days ago, the Municipal Bureau of Justice issued a rectification notice to the law firm, and the funds must no longer be used. Wan Kefa picked up the teacup and said lightly.

"Why is that?" Fang Yi is very professional in criminal law, but he is not very sensitive to this kind of thing.

"This has to start with the fact that a large number of foreign companies have entered China after the reform and development, and with the entry of foreign companies, foreign law firms have also entered China.

Since 1992, when 12 foreign law firms were approved to set up representative offices in China, many well-known foreign law firms have set up representative offices or offices in China.

However, the scope of legal services provided by foreign law firms is strictly limited, and domestic lawyers are not allowed to be employed, and foreigners are not qualified to become lawyers in China, so they cannot practice Chinese law.

Foreign lawyers, on the other hand, cannot participate in litigation in Chinese courts as lawyers, but can only participate in some international arbitrations. In addition, the scope of services provided by foreign law firms is mainly limited to commercial businesses such as IPOs, mergers and acquisitions, compliance, and foreign investment.

And these businesses all have obvious domestic characteristics, so after foreign law firms poured in, they found that this market did not seem to be suitable for them, and it was difficult to obtain huge profits, so a large number of foreign law firms withdrew from the domestic market in the later period. After putting down the teacup, Wan Kefa said unhurriedly.

"Oh, I see. The judiciary is afraid that foreign capital or foreign law firms will control domestic law firms in disguise and break the existing regulations. Fang Yi said thoughtfully.

"Not exactly. Once this red line is breached, then the law will inevitably become a slave to capital, which is very dangerous. No matter how unsatisfactory the domestic law firm system is, it is also rotten meat in the pot, just raising Gu, within a controllable range.

Once the domestic red circle or large law firm is controlled by foreign capital, you think about the consequences...... to be honest, now all walks of life in China have the shadow of foreign capital, and on the surface, the law firm is quite clean.

If it weren't for the fact that the relevant departments restricted the business scope of foreign law firms and gave domestic law firms the opportunity to develop, do you think we would have so many well-known law firms? I'm afraid that well-known lawyers in China have long been poached, and if they don't mention their profession, they can pull over a large number of lawyers just by smashing money. The reality is brutal.

In fact, there are also safety considerations for not allowing foreign capital to be involved in the affairs of law firms. Wan Kefa said with a smile.
