Not really a movie review. I plan to take a look at closing and cross-examination and other episodes. S1 Episode 3 Three-and-a-half recommended case: The plaintiff's vice president of a securities company, a married woman, sued the defendant (the company's president) for sexual harassment. They dated for 9 months at first. Later, the woman wanted to take into account the family and proposed to break up, but the man continued to entangle. Plaintiff resigned. The defendant's lawyer's closing statement: There is always love in the workplace, which can be said to be the birthplace of most extramarital affairs and most romantic relationships. This is normal, and so is a breakup. As a woman, I feel offended by the proliferation of these kinds of lawsuits. The term sexual harassment legislation may sound neutral, but current sexual harassment legislation is actually gender biased. It exists to protect women and gives the impression that women are weak. All of this goes back to early English law. Women cannot participate in the making of contracts due to their mental handicap. (My understanding of this translation is that women at that time couldn't work ~ who can verify...) Today's sexual harassment laws are to protect us from harassment in public places, because we think we can't stand it. But I can live with it. Can you? How about you? Do we really need to remove all ambiguity from the work environment so we're safe? I hate that these laws make us mentally and emotionally vulnerable. Has justice been served in any case? there must be. But in this case, the lady is an adult. She and her boss had a love-and-love relationship, and they broke up in the end. He was hurt, but he still loved her, and she sued him for it. She was not fired, she was highly educated and was a vice president of a securities firm. She is 34 years old and a professional. She came today to tell you that she cannot protect herself. She is exploiting the prejudice of the law by declaring that women are weaker in relationships. I'm also a woman and I'm not weak, folks. I'm not going to drive away, I'm going to hit him with my car. (This thread is a continuation of what the plaintiff's lawyer said earlier.) Please treat these people (pointing to the plaintiff and the defendant), both of them, as adults. ChristinePauley: Love happens in the workplace all the time. In fact, it's where most affairs start. Most relationships. It happens. So do breakups. Asa woman, Most of the cases in this show are jury cases (the jury decides whether the defendant is guilty or not, and the judge sends the sentence.). As the show's main character, Alan Shore, said in previous episodes, the point of a trial is to get the jury to believe you, and they'll believe what you say. So one of the keys to closing is to gain the trust of the escort (mo) trial (student) group (people). When the lawyer states the key argument "sexual harassment legislation is gender biased", he often brings his own feelings when he talks about the impact and sense of the law/fact, such as "offended", "tolerable", "hateful" . She didn't use the objective way of stating "such a high number of cases would be offensive to women" and "most people can live with it" because such a statement gave a sense of distance that was irrelevant. The lawyer's statement immediately gave the jury a sense of substitution and established a connection with them. Look again at this sentence "She came today to tell you that she cannot protect herself. She is using the prejudice of the law to declare that women are the weakest in the relationship between the sexes." ). Lawyers can fully say that if this is all harassment, it means that women are vulnerable and the plaintiff is vulnerable. But she used the plaintiff's words to guide the jury's emotional inclination towards the plaintiff and the defendant. Check out the lawyer's argument. You can pay attention to the last sentence, the closing point is often short and powerful (it usually ends with the cue music). "Please treat them like adults" Argument 1: This is the most common feeling you wish for, not harassment. They are adults who have the ability to control (give and accept or reject) their emotions. Argument 2: Sexual harassment legislation is gender biased and treats women as weak. The plaintiff is an adult, not a weakling. There are also many bright spots such as the blue part to feel it~ [Vocabulary] Onslaught: Onslaught on Banter: joking Consensual: Consensual Stick up for: Safeguarding/protecting someone's (rights) ----------- ------------------------- This article is from the WeChat public account "Drama" Talking Follows "Dramas" Talking, and analyzes the art of speaking in the drama search- --The play can talk search---artofexpression
