Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 176 Judge Jiang Tian (Fifth Change)

At 5:10 p.m., on the 17th floor of the office building of the Shinjuku City District Court.

In the bright bathroom, as the automatic sensor under the faucet lighted up slightly, water gushed out continuously. After washing his face, Judge Jiang Tian wiped his face with a paper towel to wash away the tiredness of today's court session.In all fairness, today's case that applies the simplified court procedure is even more controversial and complex than many cases that are tried according to ordinary procedures.

Today is the last case I will hear at the Shinjuku District Magistrates Court.

I have received a transfer order, and I am going to be promoted from the Shinjuku District District Court to the judge of the Tokyo High Court.Judging from his own age, he is extremely young in the Tokyo High Court.Facing the day when he was about to start working in the High Court, Judge Jiang Tian was a little nervous on the one hand, but also looking forward to it on the other hand.What I look forward to is that I will face more trials of complex and difficult cases on the stage of the high court, and what I am nervous about is whether I am qualified for this job.

In fact, he had caused controversy in the court.

After graduating with a Ph.D., he became famous because of the attention of the High Court and the Supreme Court because of the several judicial research reports he wrote.But on the other hand, some people criticize themselves. The report is well written, but the judgment of the case is not well written. It is too theoretical and does not take into account the practical role of resolving conflicts and disputes.

In the face of these controversies, I actually feel the pressure.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Judge Jiang Tian adjusted his clothes, stepped out of the bathroom, walked in the corridor, and came to the door of the office.

The door of the office was closed tightly, and the indicator next to it was slightly lit in red.

Unlike usual, the door was closed.

Judge Jiang Tian frowned slightly, feeling a little strange, took out his own card and swiped it in the card reader, then gently pushed the door open.

In an instant, a somewhat bright female voice came.

"Congratulations to Judge Jiang Tian, ​​who is about to be transferred to the High Court!"

Clerk Kyoko stood in the office, holding a small plate with a delicate cake on it, and handed it to Judge Eda.The usual three-person office was filled with judges from the first division of civil trials, and it suddenly seemed crowded.On a chair next to it, there are many handwritten farewell cards and blessings, and a bunch of small flowers are placed on it.

"Judge Eda, this is the farewell party everyone is holding for you today." Kyoko said with a smile.

Judge Jiang Tian was slightly taken aback for a moment, but didn't realize what was going on until Kyoko said the three words "farewell party".Judge Eda looked at the various small gifts prepared by everyone in the office, as well as a cake for celebration, and the senior judges standing in the office. At this time, they put down their work and came to bid farewell to him because he was about to leave the Shinjuku District Court , I couldn't help feeling something in my heart.

The feeling of annoyance that he was still in the bathroom just now relaxed, and the controversies surrounding him were no longer important at this moment.

The days in the Shinjuku District Court were the starting point of my career as a judge. It was here that I was taught by the senior judges, and I grew up step by step from a young judge to a judge who can handle cases independently.

From the very beginning of the trial to the writing of the judgment.

From a theoretical scholar studying in the study, I have completed the transformation to a practical judge.

And in a few days, I will leave here.

Looking at this familiar office, and about to leave in the future, he couldn't help but feel a little bit reluctant.

"Young man, do a good job. Cherish the opportunity in the high court." A middle-aged man who looked about 50 or [-] years old stood in the office and came over and patted Judge Eda on the shoulder.He has a dark complexion with a slight red glow, and he is the judge Isamu Kumagai who was involved in the previous Kawamoto Expressway case.

"Hurry up and eat the cake, I'm hungry. We can't eat if the protagonist doesn't move." Judge Kumagai laughed loudly.

"Thank you, senior." Judge Jiang Tian smiled a little embarrassedly, picked up a fork, dug a piece, and started to eat.As Jiang Tian started to move, the atmosphere in the office also began to warm up.The judges also seized this rare opportunity to communicate with each other and talk about the world.

"I see that you have been in court for a day. What kind of case are you trying?" Judge Xiong Gu babbled, and quickly wiped out the cake on his small plate.

"A case of summary procedure is a dispute over the right of way in neighboring land. It looks simple on the surface, but the actual trial is quite complicated." Judge Jiang Tian replied.

"Oh? Did both parties hire lawyers?" Judge Kumagai handed the empty plate to Kyoko who was beside him, smiled sheepishly, and asked her to cut another piece of cake.

"Yes, I didn't expect that in this kind of case, the level of lawyers on both sides is quite high. The plaintiffs are lawyers Dai and Gu Meimen from Gu Meimen Law Firm, while the defendant is lawyer Jiang Teng Attorney Miyagawa and Attorney Kitahara of the firm."

The moment he heard Kitahara's name, Judge Kumagai was stunned for a moment, as if the figure of the young male lawyer in the Kawamoto Expressway case in the court trial appeared vaguely in his mind, and then he showed a simple and honest smile.

"That lawyer, Kitahara, I think is very good." Judge Kumagai said, "Although he is young, he often has unexpected performances."

"Ah?" Judge Jiang Tian turned his head in astonishment, "Is that so? But in today's case of a dispute over the right of way in neighboring land, that lawyer from Beiyuan didn't say a single word from the beginning to the end."

The fork in Judge Kumagai's hand suddenly stopped, as if he heard something unbelievable, but after being surprised, he seemed to have figured something out, and his expression became the same, "Maybe that kid has other ideas. .It fits his style too, he's always so unexpected."

At this time, one after another, judges came over to say goodbye to Jiang Tian.

Amidst the chatter and laughter, Judge Jiang Tian was still concerned about the case of the dispute over the right of way in the neighboring land, and what judgment should be made.In his heart, Judge Jiang Tian did not approve of the "harmonious and muddy" judgments that are common in courts, and each hit [-] boards.He believes that the court's judgment should be strictly based on the law, and if there is no law, it should be strictly based on legal reasoning.Even if the final result seems absurd, it should be followed.

However, my refereeing style is often criticized by some seniors, who feel that they do not pay attention to the actual effect of resolving disputes.

Otherwise, in this case, try making peace.Judge Jiang Tian held the fork and scooped up a small piece of cake again.

It was just such a thought that instantly decided the outcome of the neighboring land right of way case.

Things in this world are so wonderful.In one person's eyes, it may be a big and extraordinary matter, but on the other side, a decision may be made in less than a few seconds.Just like the students who participated in the college entrance examination, they spent three years of hard work and concentrated their efforts to write papers. In less than a few seconds, the graders will give scores.This case, which is very important to Gao Jing and the goal team players, also has the result within a few seconds.
