      not good-looking

      Seeing that I can only use Douyin to maintain my mental state, it's really boring.

      In their positions, judges are fair, lawyers benefit, and teachers impart knowledge.

      Finally, I saw another evaluation of lawyers. Don't kidnap morally, don't scold lawyers with justice, this is just a job. I don't like a word from a victim, he thinks that his injuries are far more serious than the property damage of the male protagonist. I just want to say that others have nothing to do with you,...

      I actually watched this movie twice

      I really didn't think I could watch it twice, and it was all involuntary.

      So this movie really has a deep connection with me.

      When I saw my first short comment that I didn't understand it, I'm really a little sorry. I realized the second time I read it. It should be my first carelessness that caused me to not understand it. Maybe something happened at the time, but I didn't. calm down

      In fact, I...

      Professional ethics and justice for lawyers

      1998 old movie.

      Rather than calling it an environmental-themed film, consider it a legal-themed film. Environmental protection is only a role player in that controversy in this story.

      The story is based on a true story. In the 1880s, EAST WOBURN, Massachusetts, had 8 children die of blood cancer in 15 years. Residents suspected that the children were sick because of sewage discharged from two local factories. So the mother of one of the bereaved children turned to civil litig

      The value of the law, the nature of human nature, the pursuit of the individual

      The value of the law
      fully presents the legal operation in a civil society, both fair and unfair, reasonable and unreasonable. Great or mean, just or not, it only operates according to legal fixed procedures, perhaps this is the value of the law.

      The true nature of human nature The
      victim, the plaintiff, insists on pursuing the truth; the inner struggle of those in the know; the business owner disregards his life to cover up the truth; some of the lawyers violate their...

      For Law Seminar

      Valuable from a cinematic perspective. The shot of the shot, the way the dialogue is presented. The plot design is very clever, and it is impossible to guess the final result. I love financial advisor~ the funniest part is: be brave, put your feet up~

      show a lot. Social class, lawyer's moral outlook, professional outlook, measure of life, right and wrong, right and wrong.

      The teacher asked us to prepare answers for three questions:
      1. Would you have taken the case?...

    Movie quotes

    • Jerome Facher: [to law students] Now the single greatest liability a lawyer can have is pride. Pride... Pride has lost more cases than lousy evidence, idiot witnesses and a hanging judge all put together. There is absolutely no place in a courtroom for pride.

    • James Gordon: [Seeing Uncle Pete for another loan after Schlichtmann's firm is in serious financial trouble] You'll never guess what I did last night. You'll like this. I pledged $200 to a tele-evangelist. I'm not kidding. He said, "Give and ye shall receive." I called him right up. I know, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Gordon's losing it. He's falling apart. He's probably buying lottery tickets." I bought a few, I'll admit it. I know. But, seriously, the jackpot's $45 million. That's just this week. You should see the lines out there.

      Uncle Pete: [Nods to a bulge in Gordon's pocket] Is that a gun?

      James Gordon: What? This? No. No, this is for you.

      [Empties bag that was in his pocket full of coins]

      James Gordon: My Krugerrands. I've had them forever. I want you to have them. And... this is the deed to my house. And here is Conway's and Crowley's and Jan's. See? I come bearing gifts. We really need the money.

    • Jan Schlichtmann: I can appreciate the theatrical value of several dead kids, I mean, I like that. Obviously, that's good. That is all this case has going for it. That's not enough. Get rid of it.
