Chapter 79 Section 28

"No wonder." The professor nodded, "As soon as I heard you say 'appeal lawyer', I knew you were not a layman." The professor first listened to Cross finished his case and requirements, and then he habitually wrung his fingers to explain his views and methods: "First, generally speaking, I think that anyone who is 'guilty' by the jury, 80 % are guilty. So why am I still taking these people's cases and appealing for them? With all due respect, Dr. von Proe, I am more concerned with the process of determining the innocence or guilt of the accused than with who my client is Innocent or guilty. In other words, I am more concerned with the course of the trial than with the outcome. To me, saying a 'guilty' person doesn't deserve a fair verdict is the same as saying an 'innocent' person doesn't deserve a fair verdict. Fair ruling." This is another interpretation of "everyone is equal before the law".

The professor stopped talking and looked at Cross, which meant to ask "Do you accept?" or "Is there any problem?" Seeing that the other party had no objection, Fang continued: "Second, you just said that you hope that we will In being good friends, I have to 'with all due respect', Dr. von Pro. A lawyer is a lawyer, a friend is a friend, lawyers are hard to be friends, why? A friend is to support you when you are struggling, when you are down cheer you up when you are in trouble. Lawyers are different. As a lawyer, the most important thing is to be frank and straightforward. It will be straight to the point, straight to the point, even straight to the point, without mercy."

It was another question without a question mark, and Cross nodded in answer. "Third, I never handle a case alone. The first thing I do after receiving a case is to gather a group of people and form a team. You can also call it a task force. There is no relationship between me and my team. Secret. That is, whatever you think I should know, they should know too." Cross nodded again. Professor Dershowich said that every time he gathers people, he can't help but think of the TV series called "Mission: Impossible".The 1980s TV series was adapted from the not long ago movie of the same name starring Tom Cruise.This time, the "Deshowwich Team" will include the professor's two young assistants, Jenny Baker and David Fein, Susan Isdri and Chris Edley, the professor's graduate students Teaching assistant Joanna Kaspi, and a class of about a dozen students.

Professor Aaron Dershowitch has just published his group declaration in class. He has just finished talking about their time constraints and heavy tasks. They must find sufficient reasons and grounds for the appeal within 45 days before the summer vacation. The credits and test scores of the applicants are all calculated according to the merits, and the girl named Minnie got up and left the meeting: "You said that participating in the case handling is on a voluntary basis? Okay, I quit...Everyone in the whole country knows that Clos von Prosper Tried to get rich and kill, and more than once... I have no interest in defending this kind of scum!" He said as he walked to the door of the classroom.

"Please stop." The professor said, "I was planning to answer your questions after the lecture, so I will answer your questions in advance now." Aaron Dershowitch began counting on his fingers again: "If lawyers don't defend 'guilty' people, then after you graduate, 90% of you will not be able to find a job, and our law school will be in Closing up in three years. That's one, and two or three." All the students laughed.Someone shouted: "Talk about the second." "Secondly, people all over the country think that those who are 'guilty' are not necessarily 'guilty'. A simple example, you file for divorce, and three days later, your husband accuses you of sexually molesting your son. You know, Minnie, face It is difficult for you to speak clearly about similar allegations. At this time, please believe me, the public opinion will be one-sided, and people all over the country will think you are 'guilty'."
