Life in Tokyo as a lawyer
Page 129
"This is the first time I have come into contact with this kind of jury case. You must know that since the parliament has decided to implement it on a trial basis, it proves that this policy is likely to be implemented.
After that, when we were in court, the jury became a very important target. "
When Luohe Yangping heard this, he nodded immediately: "I have learned about it. Recently, I have watched a lot of foreign movies related to the jury."
Shi Hecheng nodded when he heard this, and was about to say something, and immediately realized that something was wrong: "Yes, for example... Bah! Can the jury in the movie be the same as in reality?!
But the jury is definitely the most important thing!They decide whether a case is won or lost, they conduct fact finding, and finally the specific sentencing will be decided by the judge.
So we must choose 12 jury members today, you see, the male sitting in the middle of the second row.
The suit on his body is custom-made, the watch on his hand is a high-end Rolex, and the glasses on his face are all custom-made.
At first glance, it looks like an executive or president of a large company. It is easy for such a person to reach an agreement with us on the case. "
"So that's it. The man in the suit sitting in the first row should also be the president of a certain company, right? He seems to be holding a Rolex as well."
When Shiga Makoto heard what he said, he patted his subordinates on the head: "You idiot, his clothes can be seen to be imitation suits at a glance, and the Rolex in his hand is also the lowest-end, maybe it is an imitation or not. Can't you see these things?"
"Then why don't you choose him?"
"Of course not. Although this kind of person is not a capitalist, he thinks of himself as a capitalist in his heart. His support for these large companies may be even stronger than that of the president.
On the contrary, she is like the housewife next door, with a three-layered fat belly. She looks like the kind who likes to gossip. This kind of woman can easily sympathize with the so-called vulnerable groups, so we have to find a way to kick her out. "
Makoto Shiga has served as corporate legal counsel for decades, and he still has profound experience in judging people.
Especially with the skills envied by many celebrities, you can tell at a glance which ones are real local tyrants and which ones are fake.
"What about Lawyer Tokiwa?"
When Shi Hecheng heard this, he said without thinking: "I must be kicked out!"
Hearing this, Luohe Yangping asked a little strangely: "Why? Lawyer Chang Pan also came from a large consortium?"
Shiga Makoto stared at Sogo Tokiwa, who was lowering his head and swiping his phone, "Even if he is from a large consortium, but the suits on his body are probably the same price as yours, he will give up the right to inherit the company and run away as a criminal who has no money at all." lawyer.
This proves that he is a completely passionate and righteous idiot!People like this generally don't like large enterprises at all!You have to find a way to kick it out. "
"Is that so?"
Shiga Makoto nodded upon hearing this: "That's right, the battle has begun now! We're going to wrestle with the other party's lawyer to see who can choose a jury member who is more suitable for our side.
If more than half of the members are those who sympathize with large enterprises, the case is already half successful! "
Just like the jury out of control in the movie, as long as the jury can be manipulated, the final victory can be won.
And selecting the jury is the first step in manipulating the jury!Choose a jury that favors your side.
Makoto Shiga looked at the 30 candidate jury members sitting on the stage. Today, he will lead the 30 people to select 12 official jury members and three alternates.
Because the information of these 30 people had not been released before today, Makoto Shiga had no way to find out the detailed information of these 30 people.
So now I can only rely on my own experience to judge which people to choose are beneficial to my side, and which people are a big threat, and must be eliminated.
Shiga Makoto took a few glances and determined a few targets to be eliminated. One was the housewife just now, a woman who likes to watch soap operas can easily sympathize with a family in disaster.
There is also a guy who looks eager to speak and has a lot of wear and tear on his clothes. He looks like a worker.
It is estimated that he may be an employee of some factory. He has been squeezed by the company in his daily life, and he must not have a good impression of large enterprises.
As for Sogo Tokiwa, Shiga Makoto feels that it may be dispensable, and he should not be given the precious opportunity to deny him.
Although Sogo Tokiwa's character design seems to be the male protagonist of that kind of idol drama, but all the people from the big conglomerates that Makoto Shiga has met may seem selfless on the surface, and they may even treat others amiably, and even speak nicely. Terrible.
But behind the scenes, in the bones, they are all selfish, eating human blood steamed buns, and skinning the employees.
Makoto Shiga has been doing corporate legal affairs for so many years, and his biggest impression is that it is not wrong to take all the entrepreneurs he knows to hang street lamps.
So, who knows if Sogo Tokiwa, who was born in a big chaebol, is pretending to be a person, maybe he will be in politics in the future, and use this persona to attract the favor of voters.
There are not a few people who use the profession of lawyers as a pedal to carry out political work, and it can be said that it is one of the important pedals for a person to go to politics.
At this time, the judge who presided over the election also left, came in and sat in his seat: "Okay, members of the jury, introduce yourself from the right hand side, and tell the advantages of your election.
The lawyers of both parties can select the personnel. As long as the lawyers of both parties agree, they can be selected for the jury this time, and the lawyers of both parties have the right of veto for three times. "
The limited negation is all to prevent the endless entanglement between the two sides, and in the end 12 citizens jointly selected by both sides will serve as members of the training group.
ps: It’s a few minutes away, I didn’t catch up with today’s -_-||
224. Hard-to-Eat
"It's probably like this."
Soon the first jury candidate to play had finished speaking.
The first person to introduce herself was the housewife who Makoto Shiga thought was a triple tire belly and liked to watch soap operas.
Before taking the stage, the staff have already told the jury candidates what to pay attention to when they take the stage, and what to say.
So there will be no trouble, the embarrassing scene where the jurors don't know what they need to do after taking the stage, everything goes smoothly.
"We have no problem here."
The plaintiff's lawyer Sansumi Natsuyo nodded after listening to the jury candidate's words, saying that he had no problem here, and he had no objection to the candidate's serving as a jury member.
At least on the surface, as a housewife, the other party should have a strong empathy for the plaintiff, the housewife. If the other party serves as a juror, it will be more beneficial to me.
Of course, in many cases, the joys and sorrows of people are not connected, and sometimes there may be no empathy, only backbiting.
At this time, the defendant's lawyer Makoto Shiga shook his head: "I don't think it's very good. The other party is a full-time housewife and has a child who has just started primary school. The housewife's housework may affect the normal jury. conduct.
Unlike working in a company, housewives can ask for leave. They have fixed free time, and there are always emergencies in normal times. If they are absent or have to leave temporarily, it will be very troublesome.
It is easy to interfere with the normal operation of the jury. "
"Housewives don't spend all their time at home. I think Ms. Nobi's words clearly indicate that she has spared enough time to participate in this training group.
Moreover, what Lawyer Makoto Shiga said just now, is he trying to deny the right of all housewives to serve as jury members? "
Ms. Sansumi Natsuyo retorted when she heard this. Some of the actors serving as jury members were obviously beneficial to her side, so she naturally wouldn't let it go so easily.
On the jury, the members of the jury must be approved by both parties. If the two parties disagree, they must negotiate.
If one side is extremely tough, they can use their veto power to forcibly eliminate that jury candidate.
Of course, if all the veto powers of both parties have been used up, both parties need to express their own opinions, and the judge will make a judgment.
Of course, Makoto Shiga couldn't wear this kind of hat, and immediately began to explain: "Of course not, but as a member of the jury, you must be fully prepared. From the lady's speech just now, I feel that she is not Prepare yourself to serve on the jury wholeheartedly for a long time to come."
Before Sansumi Natsuyo could speak further, Shiga Makoto waved his hand and said, "I forcibly veto this girl."
Hearing this, Sansumi Natsuyo and Shiga Makoto's subordinate Luohe Yanghei seemed a little surprised.
After all, this is the first candidate, and he actually used the one-vote veto power that was only three times.
And she still looks like an ordinary housewife. Although Makoto Shiga talked about the empathy of housewives, in fact, among the 30 jury members, she is not a prominent opponent.
Luo He Yangping couldn't help reminding the boss next to him in a low voice: "Lawyer Shiga, isn't this a little bad, what if there are other worse people behind?"
Shiga Makoto stared at the opponent's lawyer Natsuyo Sansumi who was sitting opposite him, and said to his subordinate Yanghei Luohe who was sitting next to him: "It's because of this kind of thinking that the veto power may not be used even once.
This kind of thing should be used when it should be used, otherwise it will be a piece of expired waste paper in the end, no, there is not even a piece of paper.
And the first round must overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum!Be sure to create a perfect start.Let the other party know that he will lose this lawsuit! "
And Sansumi Natsuyo looked at his opponent lawyer Shiga Makoto who was staring at him, feeling a little strange in his heart.
What's the matter, when you went out today, did you wear your makeup?Otherwise, why did the other party keep staring at me?
Sansumi Natsuyo always felt that the other party was staring at him strangely, subconsciously turned the matter away, and fell in love with Tokiwa Sogo who was on the jury.
And Makoto Shiga looked at Natsuyo Sansumi who turned his eyes away, and felt that he had won the first game. The opponent avoided his sight, which proved that the opponent was already a little scared.
Well, good start.
Mitsusumi Natsuyo, who turned his head to look at Tokiwa Sogo, didn't know what his opponent's lawyer, Makoto Shiga, was thinking. He only felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his opponent's eyes, and he never blinked.
For Sogo Tokiwa, Natsuyo Sansumi still has the impression of when he was a newcomer lawyer in Miki Law Firm when he was a fledgling.
At that time, Sogo Tokiwa was often taken to the law firm by his uncle Choichiro Miki who raised him. Inside the firm, he was a very bright and likable child.
But after Sansumi Natsuyo went out independently, he hadn't seen Tokiwa Sogo. The last time I heard it was his daughter who said it.
But it's a pity that the last time I met my teacher Choichiro Miki, I learned that Sogo Tokiwa seems to have a girlfriend. It's a pity that I came a step late.
What to do, my daughter is almost 30 years old, and she hasn't married yet, so I have to think of a way quickly.
However, Natsuyo Sansumi looked at Sogo Tokiwa strangely.
The reputation of Tokiwa Shogo is very good. After all, there are not many lawyers who specialize in criminal cases, let alone ones with a 100-win rate.
However, Sogo Tokiwa, who was sitting on the jury seat today, seemed a little listless, and seemed not very interested in this case.
If ordinary citizens serving as jurors are not interested in such cases, Natsuyo Sansumi can understand, but as a legal practitioner, Sogo Tokiwa should understand the importance of jury members, right?
And Tokiwa Shogo sat alone on the seat and squinted his eyes slightly. His usual actions could easily make others think that he was a person with a strong sense of justice.
In this case, the defendant's lawyer is likely to be psychologically repelled and reject Sogo Tokiwa as a jury member.
And Tokiwa Shogo pretended to be indifferent, this is to relax the other party's vigilance and make the other party feel that he doesn't care much about this case.
There is no excessive sense of justice that favors the weak side too much.
This is called playing hard to get.
The other party thought he was on the first floor, but he was actually in the atmosphere.
However, Tokiwa Sogo looked at Makoto Shiga who was sitting opposite, and the behavior of the other party made him feel like he was standing in the atmosphere for nothing.
225. You are teaching me how to do things
After a morning of selection and debate with lawyers from both sides, the jury members were finally settled.
And Sogo Tokiwa also successfully became a member of the jury in this case, because before he came to power, the defendant's lawyer Makoto Shiga had already used up his veto power.
After the selection process in the morning is over, everyone will be disbanded on the spot. When the next case officially opens, the 12 jury members will be notified.
After Tokiwa Sogo disbanded, he went out directly, and didn't say hello to Sansumi Natsuyo, not because of any suspicion.
It's because Sogo Tokiwa doesn't know Natsuyo Sansumi at all. After all, he was an employee of his elder's company more than ten years ago. How can a normal person remember such a long time ago.
So Tokiwa Sogo has no impression of Sansumi Natsuyo at all, not even his name, let alone Sansumi Mikoto's mother.
As for Sansumi Natsuyo, no matter whether it is out of suspicion or various considerations, it is impossible to take the initiative to build a relationship with Tokiwa Sogo.
Because if this kind of thing is exposed, no matter whether there is any collusion between you, Sansumi Natsuyo's lawyer certificate may be lost.
Therefore, a serious lawyer will keep a distance from the members of the jury, let alone bribe the members of the jury, and don't even say a word, so as not to incriminate others.
The defendant's lawyer, Makoto Shiga, is a serious lawyer.
Hearing Makoto Shiga rejecting his idea, Masato Miyoshi said a little annoyed: "What do you mean? To promote this kind of jury, isn't it just to let us buy the members of the jury?"
When the assistant lawyer Luohe Yangping heard this, he immediately explained: "No, the reason why the jury was established is because everyone thinks that in an ordinary case, it can be judged right or wrong with the eyes of normal people.
At the same time, in order to restrict the rights of judges, this system exists. "
Masato Miyoshi said disdainfully when he heard this, "Oh, it's a high-sounding statement, just for the sake of easy promotion."
To hand over the right to decide the success or failure of a case to the hands of 12 ordinary people, isn't this blatantly putting meat in front of hungry wolves?
It's basically seduction, or in other words, it's to open the door for those who have advantages like themselves.
Obviously there is a shortcut leading to victory, not to take the highway, scruples about the rules, but to take a winding country road, this kind of person is a fool.
Just like myself, no, among all the entrepreneurs in the world, which one has become big by following the rules and not making external moves.
Those who really abide by the rules are either swallowed by us, or they can only open a small shop on the corner forever.
Just like my own father, he sticks to such a good formula, but he is unwilling to cut corners. After he has been driving for a lifetime, he only has a good reputation in some parts of Tokyo.
The quality of the products has always been the best, and the output has not been able to increase. In Miyoshi Masato's opinion, is the subtle taste so important?
Who among those ordinary people would really go after the best taste?As long as they are good enough, they are satisfied.
Therefore, Masato Miyoshi changed all the materials to the next level, drove the production speed to the maximum, and used online marketing, not only sold more, but also gained a better reputation than his father.
Xiang's father insisted on the shitty craftsman spirit all his life, but he didn't make any money, and the factory didn't expand. He was unwilling to fire those workers during the economic crisis, and almost went bankrupt.
