Law meets reality

Before I went to the law department, I always thought that lawyers were sacred. More than 20 years after graduating, even though they are not engaged in the legal profession, I know that they are difficult and helpless. It is more bitter than working in the United States. At the end of the movie, "Every lawyer, at least once in a certain case he did, he found that he had crossed a line that he didn't want to cross. It just happened. And when you cross that line enough When the number of times, it disappears forever. So you are nothing but another lawyer joke, just another shark in the dirty waters. (Every lawyer, at least once in every case, feels himself crossing a line he doesn't really mean to cross. It just happens. And if you cross it enough times, it disappears forever. And then you're nothing but another lawyer joke, just another shark in the dirty water.) , How many people can resist the temptation on the other side of the line?" It touched me a lot! Many lawyers in China no longer know whether there is a bottom line. Maybe money is already the only mark. But in China, if you are a lawyer like him, you can't be exhausted?

Recommended by kerry, good movie, but not my type, Jon Voight, Angelina Jolie's dad. It was discovered by accident after watching Midnight Cowherd last time. Is the woman who was beaten by her husband, Claire Dennis, the heroine of Xingchen? , and Mary G. Perez, I feel like Matt Damon's face very much, I don't know if it is a mother-son relationship.

humorous and sad. How to remain calm and uneffected when yelled at, young man? The last lines could apply to any fields. After ten years, will I keep my faith, or should I become another shark in the dirty water? God bless me never turn into those I hate. We'll see...

Deck Shiffler: [after waking Rudy with a before-sunrise phone call] Guess who died last night?
Rudy Baylor: Who? Do you ever sleep?
Deck Shiffler: Harvey Hale! Age 62, quite a pedigree.
Rudy Baylor: Judge Hale?
Deck Shiffler: Yep. Croaked with a heart attack, dropped dead by his swimming pool.
Rudy Baylor: You gotta be kidding me!
Deck Shiffler: Guess which newly-made judge was assigned to Great Benefit's case?
Rudy Baylor: How the hell am I supposed to know that, Deck?
Deck Shiffler: Tyrone Kipler. Black, Harvard, civil-rights lawyer. Hates Tinley Britt, and he's tough on insurance companies. You know what a Rainmaker is, kid? The bucks are gonna be falling from the sky.

[first lines]
Rudy Baylor: My father hated lawyers all his life. He wasn't a great guy, my old man. He drank and beat up my mother; he beat me up too. So you might think I became a lawyer just to piss him off. But you'd be wrong. I wanted to be a lawyer ever since I read about the Civil Rights lawyers in the 50s and 60s, and the amazing uses they found for the law. They did what a lot of people thought was the impossible. They gave lawyers a good name. And so I went to law school. And it did piss my father off - he was pissed off anyway.
