The Bron Hotel has a total of ten floors, and the entire top floor has been booked. The trial will begin tomorrow, and in the conference center on the tenth floor, Lawyer Lu is gathering the team to make final preparations.
Village representatives Luo Xiaozhu and Luo Shufen no longer knew how to describe their feelings.
Lawyer Lu's team came here on a special plane to fight this lawsuit. The expenses here, etc., are so high that I'm afraid that after all the lawsuits are over, the money his team spent will be enough to buy all the reclaimed land in Luojia Village.
I can only say that Uncle Luo from Donghai has been pitied by a real big shot. I only now know that this Lawyer Lu charges 1,000 yuan for one minute of legal consultation. The cost of hiring him to fight a lawsuit for a day is an astronomical figure that I dare not imagine.
In this lawsuit, Lawyer Lu was just helping.
However, sitting far away in the last row of the conference center and listening, Luo Shufen had some knowledge. When she heard Lawyer Lu asking his affairs officer to contact journalists to publicize this public interest lawsuit, she felt a little relieved. Perhaps this lawsuit could be of some use to Lawyer Lu, which was not bad.
Sitting in the first row of the conference center was a fifth-grade lawmaker, who was also speechless, but had a different perspective from the two villagers.
What made him speechless was that not only were all the mosquitoes on his boss's private plane female, but he had only been in Bron for a few days and he already had a beautiful female legal assistant by his side. The female assistant was a student at school, a school belle, a beautiful mixed-race beauty with a great figure, snow-white and charming long legs, wearing a black suit. Besides being sexy and beautiful, she had that unique student-like aura, the type that was most attractive to successful middle-aged men, and he was very attracted to her.
Unfortunately, next to the boss, I am just an ordinary man. This is probably because I overestimated my strength and charm.
The slides being shown now are the information of plaintiff Hamilson's defense attorney, Hanses, and personality profiles of the ten jurors.
The person giving the explanation is a female analyst from the law firm.
Portram knew before that the bank had a special defense strategy (mock court) department, which was a pioneer in the industry. This department is now led by one of the boss's apprentices. Its main task is to make decisions on jury selection. Moreover, for important lawsuits, the Mock Court Department will select mock jurors from a large number of candidates. The political inclinations, personality, experience, etc. of each mock juror will try to correspond to a genuine juror in the court. Therefore, before each class, various defense strategies will be simulated and deduced in the mock court to observe the impact on these mock jurors and choose the best strategy.
However, Portram has only been in the bank for a short time, and this is his first time to experience a case involving the Strategic Affairs Department.
However, because the case was handled on a tight timeline, the boss only brought two analysts with him, and he took over midway, so he was not able to participate in the selection of jurors. Now, he can only analyze the personalities of these jurors based on the records of jury selection and court discipline.
Even so, Portram was amazed.
In his heart, he was becoming more and more horrified, his boss really lived up to his reputation, but what he was doing now might change the meaning of the law forever.
Because of this strategy of analyzing and influencing jurors to the extreme, it’s all about winning for the sake of winning.
So, what is the law
Lawyers all understand that in a court with a jury, fighting a lawsuit is actually fighting the jurors, which means getting more jurors to stand on your side.
But if ultimately everything lawyers do, from preparing for a case to going to court, is precisely targeted at individual jurors, and all strategies are based on this, then what is the meaning of the existence of the law
Fortunately, this strategy still has a lot of variables today, because humans are the most difficult animals to understand.
But the boss said that in the era of big data, this strategy will become more and more perfect.
It’s chilling to think about.
I can only hope that when the era of big data comes, as my boss said, legal professionals will naturally improve legal procedures in line with the development of the times. Maybe I am just worrying too much.
Moreover, as far as the current lawsuit is concerned, the prospects are not optimistic.
According to analysts, almost all of the ten jurors are sympathizers of the radical Brun independence movement, and some of them may even be participants in the independence movement themselves. They obviously have a strong sense of rejection towards the villagers of Luojia Village and believe that the residents of Luojia Village are invaders.
The possibility that the villagers of Luojia Village will lose the case in the end is probably 100%.
After the analyst presented her findings, silence fell in the conference room.
Lu Ming nodded: "This is the situation. Okay, Portram and Hammarie stay, and we will continue."
Soon the conference room became empty. In addition to Portram and Hammarie, the Chief Secretary Duan Guimi was also there. Lu Ming's stay or leave had nothing to do with her.
Portram sighed softly. "Although Hansis is only a local second-tier lawyer and not very famous, if his analysis of the jurors is not too biased, Boss, it seems that we have no chance of winning this case. Do you want to find a way to settle it? Perhaps, by bluffing, we can scare Hansis and gain the greatest benefit for our client."
Lu Ming smiled and looked at Duan Guimi who was recording. "Let my disciples see all the records later."
Looking at Hanmari, "What do you think?"
Han Marie didn't expect Lu Ming to suddenly ask her a question. She was startled and a little confused. She whispered, "Sir, I, I don't know."
Lu Ming shook his head in his heart. She had no talent, big breasts and no brains. She would just be a vase lawyer in the future.
She was present throughout the conversation between me and Professor Song. If it were one of my apprentices, they would definitely be able to guess my defense strategy.
After pondering for a while, Lu Ming said: "This is what I think..."
There was a gentle knock on the conference room door, and an officer came in and whispered something to Duan Guimi.
Duan Guiyi was slightly startled, then raised his head and said, "Boss, the other party's defense lawyer, Hansis, is here! There was no prior appointment."
Lu Ming smiled and said to Portram, "Aren't you planning to date him? Go meet him. Forget it. Meeting him is just a waste of time. There's no point."
…
Coming out of the conference room, Hanmarie walked a few steps to Lu Ming's side, "Thank you, sir. I haven't found a chance to thank you."
Only after joining Lawyer Lu's team did I realize how difficult it was to find an opportunity to talk to Lawyer Lu. To arrange her schedule, the affairs officer would contact her, take her on the plane, arrange a car for her, and so on.
In the cigar club, other people had no chance to participate in that kind of conversation. It was only because Professor Song insisted on having a cigar girl that he had the honor of entering the box. And if Professor Song's professional knowledge was not needed, he would be hundreds of levels lower than Lawyer Lu.
I can feel it from the sudden change in the attitude of my college dean towards me. Professor Song, what do you think
As for the birthday party, it was because Lawyer Lu had his closest girlfriend or younger sister present, so he had so much free time to play with a bunch of kids. It was a rare opportunity. I'm afraid that for many powerful people in their eyes, it would be extremely difficult to meet Lawyer Lu. From a certain perspective, those kids at the birthday party were so lucky.
Facing Lawyer Lu, Hanmari also felt that her mentality had changed a lot. She had an inexplicable awe and, of course, was full of gratitude.
