Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 317 Action
Looking at the third draft taken out of the desk drawer in front of him, Utsunomiya was completely convinced.

Fujimura kept such an important message from himself.

If he could have seen the full text of Xia Chuan's proofreading before the lawsuit, how could he be so speechless by that Bei Yuan in court.

"How much did you use Shimokawa's school content?" Utsunomiya put down the foreign wine glass in his hand and said coldly.

"I just referenced it. I didn't directly use his content." Fujimura hesitated and said, "In ancient books, it is a normal thing to refer to other scholars' results. Is this also Will there be problems? I received Shimokawa’s third draft of proofreading earlier, does that mean I’m plagiarizing him?”

Listening to Fujimura's justification in front of him, Utsunomiya frowned slightly.Judging from the result that even the order of the directory arrangement is the same, I am afraid that the scope of this reference is not generally large.

"Is there really any adverse effect?" Fujimura couldn't help asking, "Is it possible to lose this lawsuit?"

At this time, Fujimura was also a little flustered.After all, judging from the posture of Professor Utsunomiya today, it seems that there is really trouble.

Moreover, Fujimura also knew that during today's court session, many people from the management of the university participated in the hearing.If, in case, their confidence in themselves was shaken, it would be bad.

If the university decides to abandon itself, it will not be a question of whether it can apply for an honorary special professor, but it may even lose the current teaching and dean positions.

"Has the university's attitude towards this matter changed?" Fujimura asked tentatively.

Utsunomiya raised his head and said, "You don't have to worry about this. After all, you are the dean of the Graduate School of Humanities. The university must consider giving priority to protecting you. A dean involved in an academic scandal will negatively affect the reputation of the university. The impact is too great. Shimogawa on the opposite side is just an ordinary teacher who has not received tenure. The management still has a clear distinction between which is more important."

"As for the outcome of the lawsuit..." Utsunomiya paused for a moment, and then said, "As long as you cooperate with the dean and don't make such concealment, there will be no major problems in the deployment of the case."

"Professor Utsunomiya is really troublesome!" Fujimura bowed slightly, "This incident, I really leave it to you."

Utsunomiya leaned back on the sofa, "Now the first trial is over. I'll see if the court in Sakyo District can delay the date of the second trial. The best result is to arrive Before Xiachuan’s reappointment review meeting, this lawsuit has not been concluded. In this way, you will directly dismiss Xiachuan’s teaching position, and Xiachuan will no longer pose a threat to the school.”

Hearing these words, Fujimura's eyes lit up immediately, "As expected of a great professor of law, great professor."

"The chief referee, Takanashi, is my student. You should understand this bit of worldliness. After all, it's just the scheduling of the case, and it's not the actual referee who interferes with the case." Utsunomiya raised his legs and said, "Postponing the trial a little bit is also a good idea. It can reduce the impact of this incident on the reputation of his alma mater. Takanashi should take this safest approach."

"But. We still can't make Shimogawa too comfortable." Utsunomiya continued, "We can't let him sit quietly and comfortably in the office. Didn't you say before that we should hold his student Hiroshihiro accountable?" Seto? How are you doing now?"

"Ah!" Fujimura sighed heavily, "Don't mention it. Originally, Hirose was already going to be punished. However, Professor Harada Masato suddenly jumped out and said that he wanted to protect her. After all, Harada is the elder of the academy. There is no way to oppose him, so I can only let it go. I really didn't expect Harada to be willing to accept Hirose as his student student."

"I don't know how that Shimokawa got Harada's line!" Fujimura frowned, and cursed again, "Usually he seems to be quite honest, but he turns out to be a person who secretly draws on relationships."

"Besides Harada, how many other teachers in the humanities department are willing to replace Shimokawa?" Utsunomiya asked.

"Basically there are not many of them. Let's not talk about young teachers. They haven't got tenure, so naturally they don't dare to stand out. Some middle-aged professors are also facing the pressure of scientific research assessment because of the policy of Vice President Takeuchi. They I didn't bother to take care of it. As for those old and retiring professors, they don't even bother to teach students' classes, and it's even more impossible for them to stand out for such things."

"That is to say, apart from Harada, there are basically no more opposing forces." Utsunomiya adjusted his glasses.

"Yes." Fujimura replied.

"How much energy does Harada have?"

"Harada's own energy is not great, but it is basically impossible to bring him down. However, if he wants to influence some affairs of the academy and the school, he does not have this ability."

Utsunomiya immediately sneered, "Since this is the case, we might as well make the other party exhausted. Let's see how many people are willing to come out to protect him."

"What do you mean? Professor Utsunomiya has a good plan?" Fujimura immediately raised his head and asked.

"To put it simply, it's not just about Hirose, but about all of Shimogawa's monks and doctoral students. Harada can keep one Hirose, but can he keep the entire Shimogawa laboratory students? How many monks and doctoral students can Harada alone have?" Utsunomiya's smile became dark.

"I remember that your Graduate School of Humanities has a mid-year dissertation assessment every year." Utsunomiya said, "You might as well start here. I remember that most of the students in the Shimogawa Laboratory failed the assessment last year."

Fujimura hesitated for a moment, "Although I made most of the students in Shimogawa fail the assessment last year, if they fail the assessment this year, according to the regulations, they must be dismissed by the school. If this is really done, will it Will it lead to mass protests by students?"

"It's not for you to actually expel them." Utsunomiya said, "It's for you to exert pressure, to exert pressure. How many of these students do you think are like Hirose, who are so loyal and loyal? Most of the students in this group just want to get a degree safely. As long as you let the college put a little pressure on it, most of them will know how to do it. They will understand immediately , which side to follow is the real bright road.”

Utsunomiya sneered a few more times, "We're going to make Shimokawa's laboratory completely fall into a state of fragmentation, so that he won't have the heart to deal with the lawsuit!"
