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?

To be honest, I quite believe that people like Matt are real, and there are quite a few. Everyone will always have a few times in their life, willing to stand up, willing to believe in justice, willing to give something selflessly, especially when they are young, even if they hit their heads with blood. But maybe the timing wasn't so coincidental. Although this society is sliding into the abyss of hopeless, every time I see good people and good deeds, my heart still moves

Deck Shiffler: In law school, they don't teach you what ya need to know. It's all theories and lofty notions and big fat text books.
Rudy Baylor: What's wrong with that?
Deck Shiffler: Nothing, I guess.

Judge Kipler: Mr. Drummond... you objected to the fast-tracking of this case. What's the problem?
Leo F. Drummond: Well, your honor... this issue's already been ruled upon by Judge Hale. The preparations required by fast-tracking the case place undue burden upon both parties, I believe.
Judge Kipler: [scribbling on a notepad and not looking up] Nonsense.
[stands up]
Judge Kipler: Let me ask you something, Mr. Drummond. As a defense lawyer, have your EVER agreed to the fast-tracking of a lawsuit?
Leo F. Drummond: Well your honor, I believe I have.
Judge Kipler: [begins to laugh as he sits back down] Fine. Give me the name of the case and the court it was in.
Leo F. Drummond: [laughs nervously] Well, your honor... I have to get back to you on that.
Judge Kipler: Well, call me this afternoon by three.
Leo F. Drummond: I don't believe I'm going to be in before three.
Judge Kipler: Well, call me when you get in. I'm very interested in hearing about this case you agreed to fast-track.
Leo F. Drummond: Yes sir.
Judge Kipler: This boy's about to die, gentlemen. You do agree that we need to record his testimony?
Leo F. Drummond: Yes indeed... of course, your honor. It's just that my trial calendar is pushin' me around pretty good.
Judge Kipler: How about next Thursday afternoon?
Rudy Baylor: Great for me, your honor.
Leo F. Drummond: I'm sorry, your honor.
Judge Kipler: That's a week from today.
Leo F. Drummond: I believe I'm out of town.
[beat]
Leo F. Drummond: Yes, I am out of town Thursday.
Judge Kipler: The deposition is set for next Thursday afternoon at 2pm.
[smiles]
Judge Kipler: Sorry if it inconveniences the defense, but God knows there's enough of you guys to handle it.
[Rudy smiles]
