The episode, titled Stoppable: Requiem for an Airdate, features Lucca and Adrian defending a TV writer who was sued by a TV station for putting a previous episode on the Internet without permission. The script was about a Trump-like figure involved in a sexual assault scandal, and after Trump was elected, the TV station put the episode on hold indefinitely.
At the beginning of the episode, the top executives of the law firm were discussing whether to take the case. Adrian and Julius were arguing about the First Amendment of the Constitution▼
First Amendment The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads: "Congress shall not make laws concerning: establishing the state religion or prohibiting freedom of religion; depriving the people of freedom of speech or of the press; or depriving the people of the right to peaceful assembly and to petition the government for redress. "The amendment was passed on December 15, 1791, as part of the Bill of Rights. As we all know, the United States became independent in 1776. In the early days of independence, the United States was only a confederation country without a constitution. The coalition government maintained a relatively weak state for a period of time through the "Articles of Confederation". In 1787, the Constitutional Convention was convened in Philadelphia to formulate the Federal Constitution. At that time, the representative of the conference, George Mason, proposed that the "new constitution" must include a series of rights clauses and protect the liberties of citizens, but the proposal was unanimously rejected. Later, in the first U.S. Congress in 1789, he again proposed twelve articles on citizenship, ten of which were passed and formed today's Bill of Rights. The First Amendment is one of the Bills of Rights, which guarantees citizens' rights to freedom of belief, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly and petition, and freedom of association. Adrian feels that he can use the whistleblower law (Whistleblower Laws) strategy to defend in court▼
Whistleblower Laws The whistleblower protection law, in its entirety, is Whistleblower protection laws. If an employee reports illegal or fraudulent behavior in their employer's company, government department, or organization, the whistleblower may be retaliated by his employer. Whistleblower protection laws are to protect whistleblowers under certain circumstances. This is not a specific law, but there are many federal and state laws to protect whistleblowers who have suffered retaliation. Whistleblower Laws is for this. The general term for the class of laws. In 1989, the Whistleblower Protection Act implemented in the United States is a federal law. The main protection objects are federal government civil servants, former civil servants or candidates for public office, and they are targeted for retaliatory personnel actions. Such implicit retaliation. Here Adrian proposes that using the Whistleblower Laws strategy is not very likely to win, because the screenwriter "wasn't fired", saying that he was retaliated and it was difficult to stand up, so Diane proposed to use the Fair Use strategy, And explained that "fair use" is because of the Chilling Effect ▼
Fair Use Fair use. This legal provision originally originated in the United States and refers to allowing people to cite the works of others in a limited manner without affecting the interests of the author, without the consent of the owner of the work, generally used in the field of copyright or trademark rights. "Fair use" is a type of copyright restriction, which not only protects the interests of copyright holders, but also promotes the dissemination and sharing of creative achievements among the public. In US copyright law, "fair use" generally includes reviews, search engines, criticism, adaptations, news reports, academic research, etc. Here Diane refers to criticism. Chilling Effect Chilling effect, mostly used in politics, law, media and other fields. In the legal context, especially when discussing freedom of speech or assembly, it means that people are afraid of being punished by the state or face high compensation for expressing certain ideas and speeches, so they give up exercising their legitimate rights and dare not speak, like a cicada. Silent in cold weather. The occurrence of the chilling effect will lead to a lack of attention to public affairs and be seen as an adverse consequence of excessive suppression of freedom of speech or assembly. In court, Adrian wanted to say that the screenwriter had privately put the series on the Internet for the purpose of "public service", but was ridiculed by the judge in turn, "How can he be so noble! He is not Nelson Mandela (Nelson Mandela)”▼
Nelson Mandela Nelson Mandela, an active anti-apartheid activist, served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was the first black president in South Africa's history and was honored as the founding father of South Africa. Received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. In 2004, he was voted the greatest South African. The song "Glorious Years" composed by Huang Jiaju pays tribute to the black leader Mandela, praised Mandela's great and glorious life, and expressed his disgust and hatred for racial discrimination. After hearing the song, Mandela immediately asked someone to translate the lyrics. When he heard the meaning of the lyrics, he could not help crying. The RBK law firm needed to hire a lawyer because of Kresteva's investigation, so this dude appeared. When facing a group of black lawyers, he behaved ridiculously, speaking with a "black" tone and beating his chest. , Singing Rap... It seems to be trying to get close to black friends, but in fact, this kind of behavior is narrow and rude to others, and normal people will not talk like this = =! All made Diane couldn't help laughing ▼
Finally, before the judge handed down the verdict, Adrian gave a closing speech, and he gave another speech to bring up the incident of the year ▼ (I will post a picture and not speak)
In fact, there is no jury in this case. There is no need to be so emotional and impassioned in the final closing statement. It only needs to state the legal point of view concisely. This paragraph here is purely for the plot needs of the film and television drama, so you can watch the plaintiff's lawyer. I've been rolling my eyes impatiently~ Finally, President Trump assisted and sent a tweet, highly praising the TV network for suing the screenwriter, and successfully turning the case into a case involving the First Amendment of the Constitution , let Adrian win the lawsuit▼
Trump always does not forget to take time out of his busy schedule to promote the development of the show. . . Diane finally fought a turnaround in this episode, bringing in a big deal for the law firm and winning over Neil Gross, the president of Chumhum.com. She not only solved the problem of subscription gold, but also became the title partner again. Looking at Diane's high-spirited look is really charming and chic▼
