"Ms. Wang's tragedy happened because you betrayed her trust. She believed in your privacy guarantee during the loan process, but she didn't know that when she was doing facial recognition, the camera captured not only the photo frame in your software, but most of her body. At the time, she was only wearing pajamas in bed and didn't pay attention to her posture, exposing her private parts. She didn't expect that your database would be so easily hacked, causing her private photos to be leaked, her fiancé broke up with her, and her photos were circulated in the company group, causing her to become depressed and take extreme actions such as suicide."
"This tragedy was caused by your company's imperfect authentication system and poor security system. Therefore, your company must be held responsible for this tragedy!"
Lu Ming looked at the defendant in the witness stand quietly with a calm tone, but Lu Ming's questioning along the way had already exhausted the defendant. This middle-aged man who looked successful in his career looked even uglier when he heard Lu Ming's further accusations.
Looking at the jury box, he murmured, "Our company's software and security and fire protection systems fully comply with the business standards of relevant departments."
Lu Ming immediately asked: "But it's not enough, right? In this era where we have almost completely lost our privacy..."
"I object. I object to the plaintiff's lawyer's exaggeration and discussion of social topics that are irrelevant to this case!" The defense lawyer stood up and spoke in a cold voice. She was an extremely beautiful girl, wearing a light black professional suit, stockings, beautiful legs and high heels. She looked less childish and more seductive and sexy.
"The objection is valid!" On the bench, the dignified old judge frowned at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming smiled slightly: "Your Honor, you just had a hemorrhoid surgery, you still need to pay attention to rest. Yes, your current sitting posture is correct."
The old judge was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Lu Ming looked at the defense lawyer, "Lawyer Han, I heard that when you were getting your nails done yesterday, you added an extra zero when you scanned the code, and then you got a new nickname in the nail salon, 'Lost Lake Lawyer', is that right?"
"Objection!" The beautiful female lawyer stared at Lu Ming with fire in her eyes, as if she wanted to eat him.
"Ah, and, Professor Nie!" Lu Ming looked at the audience and said to a fat professor, "I heard that you had dinner with a female student from the 22nd grade of our college yesterday, is that right?"
Professor Nie showed a hint of embarrassment on his chubby face and shook his head helplessly.
This kid is just so lazy, but he is merciless in court. Every question and every sentence he asks is full of profound meaning. In the end, they will become sharp weapons to strangle his opponents in the court without leaving a single piece of armor.
"I got all of this from a simple search on the Internet this morning. I think the issue of privacy has become a serious social problem and needs new cases to guide and correct it."
Lu Ming's tone gradually became more powerful, and he looked at the defendant in the witness stand, "In this case, if you had only made a small change, this tragedy would not have happened, and you could have saved a life."
"But that will require a lot of money, and our shareholders..." the defendant struggled feebly.
"But such tragedies will be reduced a lot, won't they?" Lu Ming interrupted him.
He was stuck there.
Looking at the expressions on the jurors' faces, beautiful lawyer Xiu bit her lip and glared at Lu Ming's back fiercely.
At this time, Lu Ming was walking back to the plaintiff's seat, but suddenly stopped and looked at the defendant again. "Life is priceless, but in the end, in this court, justice must be reflected in numbers. Your company has a market value of billions of dollars, but the major shareholders ignored such a tragedy. I hope that with an appropriate punitive fine, you can feel the grief of my client!"
"Objection! Objection! The plaintiff's lawyer is misleading the jury!" The beautiful female lawyer immediately stood up angrily.
“I take back what I said just now!” Lu Ming returned to the plaintiff’s seat and sat down. Looking at the “victim’s mother” who was wiping tears beside him, he felt helpless. She was really good at acting. Could she be a student girl hired from the Central Academy of Drama
He glanced at his mentor, Professor Nie, who was sitting in the audience behind him.
Professor Nie nodded to him with satisfaction.
Even though he was cursing in his heart that the fact that he had dinner with a female student born in the 2000s yesterday had become known to everyone in the mock court, this guy is always like this, always taking unconventional approaches and always invincible.
He won more than fifty consecutive mock trials of this kind, setting a record for his school and also a record for students in the entire domestic legal community.
As for this mock lawsuit, his cunning and fickle nature was not fully reflected, because the case was relatively clear and it was considered a standard performance.
But the ruthless attack on the loopholes in the witnesses' words during cross-examination and the seizing of every opportunity to influence the jury were just a trial run.
It is almost foreseeable that a legal genius, a rising star that will shock the legal community at home and even abroad is rising.
"Adjourn the court! In half an hour, the prosecution and the defense will make their closing statements!" Professor Zhu, who played the role of the judge, banged the gavel and couldn't help but glare at Lu Ming again. This kid really deserves to be punished!
"Hiss", he took a breath of cold air. The fact that he had his hemorrhoidectomy was exposed by this kid, so he tried to move as normally as possible, but his butt was raised too quickly, it hurt!
Little bastard!
Professor Zhu cursed in his heart, but he had to admit that he really liked this little bastard. He was the best student he had ever taught.
Decades later, I am afraid that he will be the world-renowned student that I often mention, and the student who will bring me a lot of glory.
…
Sitting on the bench outside the lecture hall that served as the mock court was a beautiful female lawyer, Han Annie, Lu Ming's old rival and classmate.
One is the school beauty and the other is the school hunk.
The sky is blue and the clouds are white. The lawn is shady and a few cherry trees are covered with pink flowers, making it look like a dream.
The scenery in front of the lecture hall is beautiful. A little further away are several teaching buildings and students coming in and out.
Lu Ming walked over and sat down on the bench.
Han Anni bit her red lips and moved to the side.
Lu Ming rubbed his nose. He and she were rivals. They often played against each other in the finals of the mock trial, and she lost to him every time.
However, I still admire her very much.
I come from a family of law scholars and have been influenced by them since I was a child. My grandfather was Professor Nie’s teacher and old leader.
But Han Annie came from a poor family and had to work her way up step by step, which was not easy.
"Professor Nie, I will definitely take you there!" Han Annie let out a sigh of relief.
This was a preview of an overseas lawsuit that Professor Nie took on involving privacy rights. It was a high-profile lawsuit, and the other party was a large company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars.
Of course, the case and the mock lawsuit are not exactly the same, but the nature is the same.
As the special consultant of this case, Professor Nie planned to bring an outstanding disciple to participate in it for learning and training, so the moot court also chose the marine court model.
As a result, Lu Ming won a complete victory, and the mock jurors ruled that the punitive fine was an astronomical figure.
"You majored in domestic law, and I majored in European and American law... but I still lost to you!" Han Annie shook her head helplessly.
Lu Ming was stunned. This was the first time he saw her so discouraged. In the past, she always became more courageous as the battle went on, and he also enjoyed fighting with her.
Originally, his hand had already touched the envelope in his pocket and was about to take it out and hand it to her, but now was obviously not a good time.
Besides, love letters, what era are we in now? Don’t they seem too old-fashioned
While I was hesitating, I saw Han Annie had stood up and slowly walked down the steps of the classroom. Her back looked a little lonely.
Lu Ming looked at her from behind and suddenly shouted, "Han Annie, I'll treat you to dinner tonight?"
I don’t know if she heard it clearly. Her figure delayed slightly, but she still left slowly.
