Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 300 Two Sides

Room 1306, The Ritzton Hotel, Kyoto.

"The assigned chief referee is actually a student of Utsunomiya?!" Miyagawa looked at the "Notice of Members of the Collegial Panel" in front of him, and then turned his head to stare at the information about judge Takanashi on the laptop, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"That's normal." Beiyuan leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and meditated, "After all, it's the court in Kyoto. Considering the influence of Kyoto University, it's not surprising that this university monopolizes the legal profession in the entire Kyoto area. It is estimated that the court More than 50% of the judges here are graduates of Kyoto University."

"Would you like to apply for the judge's recusal?" Miyagawa looked up and asked, "After all, Judge Takanashi is a monk student of Utsunomiya. As a student taught by him, I am afraid that the legal views in many aspects will be deeply influenced by Utsunomiya."

Beiyuan stretched out his hand, pinched the center of his brow, and slowly relaxed it.

Things are indeed quite difficult.

That's where the trouble with a lawsuit in Kyoto comes in.

In the Kyoto area, one university dominates the entire Kansai.Since Tokyo attracts talents from all over the country, there is extremely high-intensity market competition.Even for the University of Tokyo, it is difficult to have almost monopolistic influence on the legal profession in a region.But Kyoto University can do this.

"Applying for the recusal of a judge requires the existence of an interested relationship." Beiyuan said, "Just a teacher-student relationship is not enough to constitute a strong reason for recusal. It may be dismissed. Take a step back and say, even if it is changed for us Chief judge. There are five teachers of intellectual property law in the Faculty of Law of Kyoto University. Even if they are not students of Utsunomiya, they are most likely students of other teachers."

"So, those who should hide, still can't hide." Beiyuan said quietly.

Miyagawa felt a little discouraged.This time, there is no precedent for the plagiarism case of ancient book counting and proofreading, and it happened to be an away game.The judge is a student of the opposite lawyer.To some extent, this time she and Beiyuan were fighting with the opposing lawyer and the judge at the same time.

If the judge is determined to side with her teacher, there is hardly any way to deal with it.

After all, the opponent is a famous professor at the university.

Judging according to the legal point of view of the famous professor, at least on the surface, the basis of the judgment can be watertight.

The more Miyagawa thought about it, the more he felt that the future of the case was bleak.Litigation in the Kyoto area is more difficult than she thought before.

"I don't think you need to be so pessimistic." Beiyuan looked at the computer screen in front of him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "I seem to have found some interesting information about Judge Takanashi, Miyagawa, you can come and have a look."

"What did Beiyuan find?" Miyakawa came over curiously.

Instead, a picture was displayed on the computer screen.In the photo, a group of students were gathering to protest. They held signs in their hands. Judging from the content of the signs, they were protesting that the school would take back two student dormitories and transform them into campus hotels for conference reception.The increase in the number of single-room dwellings in student halls of residence in the area will force students to live even more crowded.

Among this group of students, there is a short-haired female student who is particularly eye-catching.Her appearance looked a little dignified, even sweet, but she was wearing a headscarf and standing at the forefront of the protesting crowd. The temperament in her eyes was completely opposite to her appearance, revealing a heroic demeanor.

"This is my accidental discovery." Kitahara smiled. "Is this photo a photo of a student protest at Kyoto University more than ten years ago, about the renovation and use of campus dormitories. Standing at the forefront of the student crowd, It was Judge Takanashi who was studying for a monk at the time."

Kitahara picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, "It seems that our judge Takanashi is very enthusiastic about the campus affairs of Kyoto University."

Looking at the photo in front of him, Miyagawa opened his mouth slightly, as if he couldn't believe it.Who would have thought that the judges with solemn and solemn photos hanging on the court's website also had such high-spirited pictures when they were students.

"Judge Takanashi and Utsunomiya have a teacher-student relationship, which is of course not good for us." Kitahara picked up the resume information about Takanashi and looked at it, "But on the other hand, judging from the activities she participated in when she was a student, it is obvious. He is a student who is keen to express his views on campus affairs, and dares to face the school and express different views."

"The plagiarism of Associate Professor Shimogawa this time is not just a case of plagiarism." Kitahara's eyes became darker, "I believe that Judge Takanashi must have something to do with the radical policies that Vice President Takeuchi has implemented within the university in recent days." Concern. Whether Judge Takanashi will hinder her from making a fair judgment because of the teacher-student relationship depends on whether her original intention has changed over the years."

Miyakawa stood aside, listening carefully to Beiyuan's words, looking thoughtful.After what Beiyuan said, it seems that the case has taken a turn for the better.Judge Takanashi has both favorable and unfavorable factors for this case.

"Okay, have a good rest." Beiyuan picked up the remote control, turned on the TV in the guest room, and said with a smile, "You should go back to your father's guest room too. Otherwise, wait, he's coming over and smashing my door gone."

"I'll stay for a while longer." Miyakawa replied softly, and then she also sat upright in the seat, accompanied Bei Yuan, and watched TV.

The TV in the guest room was flickering, which happened to be a news program about the Xiachuan ancient book counting incident.The hostess in the radio station leaned forward slightly, and said sternly, "This afternoon, Kyoto University made a statement regarding Professor Shimokawa's recent accusation of plagiarism against the Dean of the Graduate School of Humanities, Fujimura."

"Kyoto University officially made a statement?!" Miyagawa couldn't help exclaiming a little, and immediately stared at the TV with all his attention.

The hostess continued: "Kyoto University stated that the school has set up a relevant investigation team to investigate the alleged academic misconduct incident. However, since the incident has entered the judicial process, the results of their investigation will be announced after the court pronounces the sentence." release."

"The spokesperson of Kyoto University stated at the press conference this afternoon that the university will never condone any form of academic misconduct. But on the other hand, the university also stated that it will not tolerate any rumors and frame-ups about scholar Qingyu. Once the relevant People use the report of 'academic misconduct' as a cloak, but in fact they are retaliating against the leaders of the college, and the university will strictly investigate the legal responsibility of those with bad motives, and will never let them go."

The voice of the hostess on the TV slowly floated in the guest room.

The university's response showed a tough stance.

Obviously, the last "bad motivators" are referring to Associate Professor Shimogawa and the two lawyers in the guest room.
