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...

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?...

The film is ok, but I hate John Travolta's...
Jan Schlichtmann: Experts have testified in this court that your land, your fifteen acres is the most grotesquely polluted land in all of New England and you have no idea how it got that way?
John Riley: No.
Jan Schlichtmann: Does it upset you to learn that?
John Riley: Very much so.
Jan Schlichtmann: Why?
John Riley: My factory is the oldest surviving business in Woburn, when the other tanners moved out, I stayed even though that was a very big financial burden. I stay because Woburn is my home that land has been in my family for three generations. That land to me is "hallow ground," so if you asked me if someone came onto that and desecrated it, a land that a part of a town that I love my answer to your question is "yes".
Jerome Facher: [meeting inside the judge's chambers] Last night I was at the ball game, it was the seventh inning stretch, I was standing there I don't know why but it occurred to me unless you've proven any chemicals actually reached the wells there's no case: therefore there's no need for the families who've suffered so much to relive the suffering by putting them on the stand.
Judge Walter J. Skinner: That's interesting I think I'd have to agree with that, if the jury decides favorably on the geological evidence then you can bring your families.
Jan Schlichtmann: [protesting against Facher's suggestion] The jury came into this courtroom expecting a human drama but instead for three months we've been giving them lessons in geology but we had to do that and it's over, finally: they want to testify, they need to testify.
Judge Walter J. Skinner: [in his chambers, to Jan, Jerry and Bill] My plan is to present the jury with some simple questions: 1. have the plaintiffs established by a preponderance of evidence chemicals containing TCE were disposed on the W.R. Grace and Beatrice's own lands after October 1st, 1964 and August 27, 1968 respectively and did those chemicals contribute to the well water contamination? 2. What according to the preponderance of evidence was the earliest time, the month and year at which these chemicals substantially contributed to the contamination of the wells? 3. What according to the preponderance of evidence was the earliest time, the month and year at which substantial contribution referred to in question two was caused if it was by the negligent conduct of the defendants?
