Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Monday, a working day.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the civil court of the municipal court began to get busy.

Because of the two days of the weekend, many people figured out some things at home.

If something goes wrong in your life or work, what can you do to make yourself feel better?

sue!

As long as you feel that you are reasonable, then go to a civil court to sue the person or company that makes you unhappy.

If you win the lawsuit, not only can you get compensation, but you can also get an apology from the other party!

Therefore, the civil court on Monday was extraordinarily busy.

The people's grievances that have been accumulated for two days usually erupt on Monday.

The desks of all the judges in the civil court are full of indictments.

And the court messenger, pushing a trolley full of documents, brought more indictments into the office.

Tuk tuk tuk!

There was a knock on the door, and then the messenger pushed open the office door.

"Judge Ni, these are new indictments!"

After the messenger put a stack of documents on the desk, he did not chat with Ni Qiuping, but quickly exited the office.

There were more than ten indictments piled up on the desk, but now they were relayed by messengers, and there were more than forty indictments.

Looking at so many piled up documents, Ni Qiuping couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"On Monday, can't I let my mother relax?"

"No, I'm going to be depressed, I'm really going to be depressed!"

She found that since becoming a judge in the civil court, she has not been happy for more than ten years.

Either I receive various cases every day, or I am irritated by the gang of lawyers for both the prosecution and the defense in the court.

Ni Qiuping swore that if God gave her a new chance, she would never study law, let alone enter the court.

If she could, she should have taken the pastry chef exam in the first place. Maybe after all these years, she has her own bakery.

Being a judge can be depressing, after all, the work is stressful.

But she had never heard that being a baker would cause depression.

"Come on, let my old lady take a look, they are all stupid cases that idiots would submit!"

After daydreaming for a few seconds, Ni Qiuping accepted the reality honestly and looked at the indictment in front of her.

"Wife accuses husband of cheating?"

"Husband accuses wife of cheating?"

Ni Qiuping frowned slightly, her face was as expected speechless.

Marriage breakdown and derailment are the most common cases in civil courts.

Of course, unless there is specific evidence for this kind of case, it is generally closed.

So for these cases, pass directly!

"A sues B for QJing his own wife?"

"B accused A of extortion?"

"How did this tm criminal court case come to my civil court?"

After reading two more indictments, Ni Qiuping was speechless.

This is probably a case that the criminal court cannot handle, and there is probably no evidence. Neither party is convinced, and finally threw this mess to her civil court.

Pass!

"The son accused the father of cheating on his wife?"

"Father-in-law accuses son-in-law of cheating and whoring?"

"Father-in-law accused son-in-law of cheating on his wife?"

"The son-in-law accused his mother-in-law of seducing him and destroying his relationship with his daughter-in-law?"

Good guy, it's coming from behind, right?

Sure enough, it's not a family, don't enter a family!

Ni Qiuping rubbed her swollen forehead, feeling a little headache.

It's only Monday, and I just started working this morning, so why did I encounter these weird cases.

Throwing aside the several indictments in front of her, Ni Qiuping hurriedly picked up the thermos cup on the table, intending to drink some water.

While drinking water, she naturally continued to read the indictment.

"Oh, Gu Shiman sued her husband Gao Tianri for domestic violence and cheating, initiated a divorce lawsuit, and asked her husband to leave the house completely?"

Finally, Ni Qiuping saw an interesting case.

Different from those family matters before, this time the accuser is Gu Shiman.

Ni Qiuping is naturally very familiar with this one, and she has watched several dramas starring him.

Of course, when this woman first debuted, her acting skills were not very good, she couldn't cry when she should cry, her smile was stiff when she should laugh, and she cut out pictures and acted embarrassingly.

"Come on, let me take a look, the attorney for this case is..."

Ni Qiuping picked up the thermos cup and took a sip of tea.

[Plaintiff: Gu Shiman, xx, xx, xx... (basic information). 】

[Attorney ad litem: Laura Campbell, partner attorney at William International Law Firm. 】

[Defendant: Gao Tianri, in xx years...]

Seeing this, Ni Qiuping is not surprised. After all, Gu Shiman is also a big star, and it is not surprising that he can afford a lawyer from William International.

"Who is the defendant's lawyer? Is the indictment written?"

Ni Qiuping continued to read, and sure enough, in a certain line of the indictment, she saw the information of the defendant's attorney.

[Defendant's attorney: Zhang Wei, lawyer from Jincheng Law Firm...]

puff--

Seeing this extremely familiar name, Ni Qiuping couldn't help but spit out all the tea in her mouth.

Good guy!

Really good guy!

She never expected that it was only Monday, and she would encounter a terrible thing.

Nima yo!

Ni Qiuping couldn't help cursing.

Can this be better, can this day go on.

Ni Qiuping: @￥ # %*\u0026! \u0026...

"etc!"

After being rude, she thought about it again, but she felt that this case seemed to be interesting.

Big stars, big directors, Laura from William International, Zhang Wei from Jincheng Law Firm.

This case brought together the top performers and entertainment circles of the Oriental Metropolis, and the two representatives of the top ten top two law firms. It can be said that the elite gathered and the enthusiasm was full!

Of course!

Zhang Wei's case, in addition to hot spots, also has a lot of pitfalls.

At least in court, Ni Qiuping felt that she couldn't help cursing or even hitting people every time.

However, she looked at the indictment in front of her that was soaked in tea, and after frowning, she quickly relaxed it again.

"This case should be an ordinary celebrity couple's divorce, right? It won't involve any big things, right?"

To be honest, Ni Qiuping already has some psychological shadows about Zhang Wei's case.

But she glanced at the other indictments on the table.

There is a saying that is good, although everyone is bad, but who do you have to compare with?

Compared with Zhang Wei's case, the other cases are really rotten sweet potatoes and rotten eggs, which cannot be seen at all.

"Okay, that's the case, I'll be the first to accept it!"

"However, for divorce proceedings, the rule is to first communicate with the two parties, whether they can reconcile..."

Ni Qiuping said, and according to the contact information on the indictment, she directly called the prosecutor, William International.

Soon, she got an accurate answer from William International.

No reconciliation!

Ni Qiuping thought for a while, then dialed the number of Jincheng Law Firm, and successfully contacted Zhang Wei.

The answer was the same.

No reconciliation!

OK, now all are alive.

...

Jincheng law firm.

Inside Zhang Wei's independent office.

Zhang Wei put down the phone in his hand, and then looked at the group of people in front of him.

The client Gao Tianri, the client's temporary bodyguard Xia Qianyue, the network consultant Zhao Xiaoxiao, the law guard Zhang Xinwu, the driver Zhang Xinyan, and... all the friends from the criminal department.

The little apprentices Lin Yumeng, Li Yueqin, and Xiao Su were also on the list, and they all stared at Gao Tianri with piercing eyes.

"This is the great director Gao Tianri, he picked up my Oppa."

"I heard that Director Gao has worked with many big stars. I wonder if you can introduce them for us. I want xx's autograph."

"I heard that Director Gao has scandals with many female stars. I don't know if it's true. I don't know if my favorite xx knows Director Gao. I hope it's best not to..."

Zhang Wei couldn't help but shook his head when he heard the small voices of the little friends pushing and whispering.

A group of young people like to gossip, right?

"By the way, are you not working today? Today is Monday. There should be many clients contacting you, right?"

Zhang Wei was also embarrassed to drive people away directly, so he could only change the topic.

"Xiao Li, Xiao Meng, Xiao Su, and you guys, the phone outside has been ringing~"

"Yeah, the phone is ringing!"

"Hurry up, hurry up and get back to work!"

Hearing Zhang Wei's reminder, the friends ran out in a hurry.

The office was finally empty.

Only then did Zhang Wei walk up to Gao Tianri and said, "Just now I contacted Lao Ni from the Municipal Court, and she told us to go to the pretrial hearing in the afternoon."

"Preliminary trial in the afternoon, so fast?"

Gao Tianri was also shocked, the efficiency of the city court is too high, right?

But if he knew how outrageous the case in the civil court was, he could understand why Ni Qiuping deliberately singled out his case among the others.

"No way, it's a special matter. Your case has a greater impact. I guess Lao Ni has his own considerations, right?" Zhang Wei explained.

Ni Qiuping said: No, you are thinking too much, I just think your case is relatively not so outrageous.

All in all, the pre-trial begins in the afternoon.

Zhang Wei and others spent the whole morning busy.

...

3 p.m.

Municipal Court, Civil Division.

Because it was a pre-trial, and it was Ni Qiuping's impromptu decision to have a pre-trial in the afternoon, so few media and paparazzi got the news.

There were not many people from the entire civil court, except for some people who were interested in the case, only the friends from the criminal department came.

They came here not to support Zhang Wei, but to take a look at the big star Gu Shiman, and by the way, see if there will be other stars in the hearing.

Unfortunately, they were disappointed.

Except for the plaintiff and the defendant, there were not many people in the entire civil court.

On Gao Tianri's side, apart from Zhang Wei and his party, there were no other people from the show business circle.

On the plaintiff's seat, apart from the client, Gu Shiman, there were only Laura from William International and the gray-haired man Gray. As for the other lawyers, they were all waiting in the hearing booth at the back.

However, there are quite a few lawyers from William International, Laura is the main force, there is also a professional divorce lawyer Gray as a staff member, and a group of lawyers from the divorce litigation department under him as a support team. , but their professionalism cannot be doubted.

On Zhang Wei's side, besides his lawyer, only Xia Qianyue and Zhao Xiaoxiao were left in the dock to eat melons.

As for the support team, Zhang Xinwu and Zhang Xinyan are more of a vigilante. As for the friends in the criminal department, they are thinking about whether there will be some big stars in the next court session, and whether they have their own Obama. , or my idol, wait...

"Everyone stand up, and the respected Judge Ni is invited to enter the arena!"

While the plaintiff and the defendant were waiting, Ni Qiuping finally arrived.

"Sit down, today is just a preliminary trial, there are not too many rules!"

After Ni Qiuping took her seat, she acted very magnanimously, nodding to both the plaintiff and the defendant.

After everyone sat down, Ni Qiuping leaned forward and approached the plaintiff's seat.

"Ms. Gu Shiman, are you sure you don't want to discuss it with your husband again?"

Laura got up straight away, and said coldly to the defendant's seat: "Judge Ni, my client has expressed his attitude, and we have handed over the terms of settlement to the defendant. We will not accept any form of compromise, nor will we Modify the terms of the settlement!"

Ni Qiuping secretly called out, good guys, you are really good, I have also read the terms of the settlement, I can only say that you are very courageous and greedy.

Although I am a woman, I also have to admit that if someone really agrees to that settlement condition, that person's head must have been kicked by a donkey.

"Zhang Wei, what about you?"

"Old Ni, I believe you have read that condition. Do you think my client and I have been kicked in the head by a donkey?"

The corner of Ni Qiuping's mouth twitched, and she said to herself, "You bastard."

This hasn't even started yet, so you're trying to get close to me, right?

I don't know if I, Ni Qiuping, am notoriously stern and selfless in the city court?

"Well, since the two parties do not agree to a settlement, then this court has nothing to say."

Ni Qiuping struck the gavel, her eyes scanned the audience.

"This court announces that the plaintiff Gu Shiman's lawsuit against the defendant Gao Tianri for divorce has been officially accepted by the Municipal Court. As for the plaintiff's request for divorce, the notice board and official account of the Municipal Court have posted it. You can check it yourself!"

"Ting Wei, let the candidate jury enter."

With Ni Qiuping waving his hand, the court guard of course let the jury into the scene.

The jury in the civil court only needs 6 jurors in the end, so there are 20 jurors who are candidates, which is enough.

20 jurors, a mix of men and women.

Laura and Zhang Wei each started to prepare.

"Women, only women will support women, so our goal is simple, keep as many women as possible, and weed out as many men as possible!"

"Men, only men can understand men, so our goal is simple, keep as many men as possible, and weed out as many women as possible!"

Laura and Zhang Wei started their own calculations.

Laura got up first and came to the jury.

"Excuse me, everyone who does housework at home, please raise your hand!"

Half the women on the jury raised their hands, as did two or three men.

Seeing this, Laura knew what was going on.

"Judge Ni, we request that No. 2, No. 5, and No. 6 be eliminated..."

"be opposed to!"

Just when Laura announced the removal of the jury, Zhang Wei stood up to stop her.

"Judge Ni, isn't it too one-sided to weed out some jurors just because they don't do housework?"

Zhang Wei naturally knew Laura's purpose. Women usually do housework at home, and men seldom do housework, so the other party's question was to screen a jury of men and women.

Although he has been doing housework at home, he naturally won't let Laura weed out those men who don't do housework.

"Well, when you say that, it does make sense..."

Ni Qiuping nodded at first, but then the conversation suddenly changed: "But isn't the weird question your kid raised is more outrageous than this?"

After finishing speaking, she nodded to Laura, "The plaintiff can continue to ask questions!"

"Old Ni, you are so unkind!"

Zhang Wei resisted the desire to complain, and could only sit down resentfully.

Laura continued to ask questions with a scheming smile on her face.

"Excuse me, everyone, how much time do you take care of your children at home on weekdays..."

Just under Laura's question, she eliminated 6 men in a row.

Looking at the jury now, there are almost all women, and there are only 4 men left.

"Lawyer Zhang, it's your turn!"

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Laura returned to the plaintiff's seat with confident steps.

Looking at the jury with few men, Zhang Wei could only get up.

It's okay, there are 4 more, if all of them stay, the ratio of men to women on the jury will still be 1:2.

However, it is obviously impossible to keep all of them.

"Ahem, I want to ask everyone, are you busy with work?"

Many members of the jury looked at each other, some nodded and others shook their heads.

"Raise your hand if you think you're busy at work?"

All four men on the jury raised their hands, while many of the women did not.

Why, because they don't have jobs and they are not the breadwinners.

"be opposed to!"

In the plaintiff's seat, Laura stood up.

"Judge Ni, many of the women on the jury are housewives. Although they don't have jobs, it cannot be denied that their burdens are light. The defendant's lawyer's questions are targeted!"

Laura also knew Zhang Wei's purpose to screen female jurors through work.

After all, most of the people who go to work are men, and many women do not go to work after they get married.

"Well, what you said makes sense..." Ni Qiuping couldn't help but nodded.

"Judge Ni, although the plaintiff's lawyer is right, I would like to ask, who bears the heavier burden?"

Zhang Wei also said at this time, "Women at least have a home, and men have to protect this home from the wind and rain, and work hard, for the child's milk powder money, the wife's daily expenses, clothes and cosmetics, and even the house payment at home. Renovation costs and so on, this is the history of our men's hard work, blood and tears."

"I don't deny the saying that women can hold up half the sky, but I also want to explain that it is not easy for men to be outside. This society is full of oppression against us men, and we can only grit our teeth and go to the stomach. Pharynx, because we still have to live, struggle, and suffer for our family, can we still get better?"

"Hearing what the plaintiff's lawyer said, I was so angry that I trembled all over my body, and my whole body was sweating with cold hands and feet on a hot day!"

When Zhang Wei spoke, his voice was full of emotion, and he raised his arms and shouted, which caused many men in the jury and hearing room to nod their heads, which aroused inner sympathy.

This lawyer really understands our crying, this lawyer can deal with it!

"this……"

Hearing the inexplicably familiar speech, both Laura and Ni Qiuping were speechless.

Where did we hear your words?

Also, isn't it just to select the jury, so there is no need to be so eloquent and compassionate?

I don't know, I thought you were giving a speech in front of tens of millions of people!
