Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 344

9:56am.

Kyoto, Sakyo Ward District Court, Trial Building, Court No. 607.

The faces of the university management in the auditorium were extremely ugly.The scene of the teaching and research building yesterday is a disgrace to Kyoto University.Banners protesting against the Vice-Chancellor were publicly hung on the public buildings of the university, and... and a lawyer publicly scolded the students trained by his school as stupid.This is simply the ridicule that this top university in Kansai has never suffered.

This scene was actually recorded and disseminated by major TV stations in Toyo.The news in the entire Toyo is even scrolling to report the lawyer's sharp speech.

Utsunomiya and Ikegami sat in the dock.

Utsunomiya opened the briefcase, put the trial materials inside on the table, and glanced dissatisfiedly at the figure on the opposite seat.The development of the situation has exceeded Utsunomiya's expectations.First of all, he did not expect that the students in the Xiachuan teaching and research section would be so proactive in "throwing themselves in their arms" and chose the fierce method of public protest to break with their instructors and show their loyalty to the university.

Secondly, he didn't expect that Kitahara in front of him would just keep doing nothing, involve the student union, and escalate the Fujimura incident to the improper appointment of Vice President Takeuchi.As a result, the situation became a little more subtle.

Because of the changes in the situation, the university also put pressure on itself in this lawsuit.

Yes, I am a great legal authority on intellectual property rights.

Normally, the parties involved even asked him to file a lawsuit, but now he was complained by the university instead.

I... How long has it been since I have been treated by the person involved?

Yes, it has been a long time, so long that I have forgotten that lawyers are a service industry.

In a daze, Utsunomiya even returned to the scene of two or 30 years ago, when he was just a fledgling, just under the title of an associate professor of a university, and tremblingly filed intellectual property lawsuits for enterprises.

And all of this was brought by the young man named Bei Yuan on the opposite side.

Utsunomiya's sharp eyes fell on the young man opposite.However, the plaintiff's male lawyer was still sitting on the seat, leaning against the back of the chair, ignoring the gaze from the opposite side, and swinging the chair quite leisurely, as if sitting on a massage chair.

And the woman with a gentle face next to her, noticed this gaze, but raised her head, her crescent eyebrows frowned slightly, as if to protect the man beside her, her beautiful eyes opened slightly angrily, and she was not polite at all. stare back.

Miyagawa was very angry.Because she never expected that the university would force the students in the Xiachuan teaching and research section to such a point.She really couldn't accept that a university that was supposed to protect and treat students well turned out to coerce students and do such things that turned teachers and students into enemies.

Is this still a university? !

Miyagawa has always been unable to bear the fact that the weak are being bullied, especially those who are originally responsible for protecting the weak, and in turn further use their duties to exploit the weak.This must have aroused Miyagawa's inner anger even more.

Miyagawa gritted his teeth slightly, and the hand holding the pen was already tightly gripping the pen holder.

When Utsunomiya saw that Kitahara didn't pay attention to him, but the "little assistant" beside him stared back at him, his brows couldn't help shaking again.

After the law professor knew that Beiyuan had been released by the Kyoto headquarters police, he also went to inquire about Beiyuan's background.It turned out that Bei Yuan was released because of the assistant beside him.This trainee lawyer named Miyagawa is the daughter of Imamishi, director of the Tokyo Bar Association.

Utsunomiya felt both exasperated and ridiculous.

What is this woman trying to do by following this bastard.

He can't understand, really can't understand.

There are more and more things that I don't understand.

Utsunomiya looked at the still empty trial seat on the stage again.My own student named Takanashi is becoming increasingly incomprehensible.In my vague impression, Takanashi, who is still a monk student, is also a quiet student who doesn't seem to resist the teacher.However, I can't understand the rhythm of the court session now.

Actually every other week, a court session was held.

Ordinary court cases are scheduled for at least one month after the second hearing.

However, at the moment, there is an unusually dense rhythm.

There are less than 50 days until Shimogawa's re-employment review meeting.According to the court's normal case scheduling rhythm, generally speaking, the judgment result of the case will definitely not come out before the review meeting of Xiachuan's re-employment.

However, judging from the trial schedule at the scene, could it be... Could it be that Takanashi wanted to finish the case before the judging session? !
This possibility cannot be ruled out.However, Utsunomiya couldn't figure out why Takanashi did this.In this way, what is the benefit to Takanashi? !

At this time, the indicator light on the secret door of the court turned from red to green, and a beep sounded.Although the sound of the electronic indicator was small and weak, the moment it sounded, it immediately changed the aura of the courtroom.Many people in the auditorium couldn't help adjusting their sitting postures, straightened up, and looked forward.

Judge Takanashi and the other two magistrates immediately appeared at the secret door and stepped onto the trial seat.Even though Judge Takanashi is only a woman in her early 30s with a rather quiet appearance, but against the background of the black robe, she also shows a faint sense of solemnity and majesty.

Judge Takanashi sat on the referee's seat and raised his gavel.

The hearts of those in the auditorium also lifted up the gavel, beating faster.This Fujimura plagiarism lawsuit has finally come to the crucial stage of court debate.

"Crack!"

The crisp sound of the hammer sounded.

"Shimokawa Yoshihiko v. Fujimura Kayo, Kyoto University, Kyoto University Press copyright infringement dispute case is now open for trial." Judge Takanashi's voice came from the referee's seat.

"In the second hearing, the court investigation phase has ended. Now the court debate phase begins."

"Next, the collegial panel will summarize the focus of the dispute in this case. The attorneys for the plaintiff and the defendant will express their agency opinions around the focus of the dispute."

All the people present pricked up their ears and listened.The spectators in the auditorium were wondering what the judge would sum up in this case to discuss the focus of the dispute.For a moment, the air in the courtroom seemed to stop flowing, and the propagation of sound seemed to become sluggish in this narrow space.

Judge Takanashi paused, and raised his voice slightly, "The collegial panel believes that the focus of the dispute in this case is whether the collation of ancient books falls within the protection scope of the Copyright Law. The attorneys for the plaintiff and the defendant are invited to express their arguments around this point."

Judge Takanashi's cold voice fell.

The focus of controversy has been summarized.

Is the proofreading of ancient books the object of copyright protection?

The process of summarizing the whole controversy takes less than 1 minute.

A case has one and only one focus of dispute.

this means--

It would be an all-or-nothing lawsuit.
