Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 489 Mobilization Begins

Asakura Yan walked into the middle of the venue, and the eyes of the audience immediately focused on this top expert in administrative law.This great authority on administrative law is not very tall.However, from the moment he entered the meeting room, the aura reflected from his body had a sense of coercion.This sense of coercion does not come from the deterrence brought by brute force.It's a sense of profundity, a sense of unfathomable, daunting terror.

Takeuchi raised his mouth slightly when he saw Asakurahiko's figure.At noon, he had passed his breath with Asakurahiko.When such a powerful reinforcement came to the venue, he undoubtedly firmly placed the weight of victory on his own balance.

"Since Professor Asakura Hiko has arrived, we might as well ask the experts for their views on this incident." A school manager said.

Asakurahiko took his seat, nodded slightly, and said in a somewhat low voice, "I have roughly read the materials sent by the court on the way here. Although this case has attracted the attention of the society, I don't think it is necessary. What will happen."

"Although the administrative lawsuit sounds very famous, it seems to be a big deal, but it is not. The court will not conduct a substantive review of the specific behavior." Asakura Yan said: "This case is Mikiko's request to withdraw The decision of the university to deprive him of his doctoral degree. But first of all, whether the act of conferring a degree by the university is an administrative act is itself questionable. Although the court has now announced the filing of the case. However, the case-filing court and the trial court belong to different departments. The opinion of the filing court does not mean that the judges of the trial court will agree."

"Professor Asakurahiko means we don't have to worry about this case?" Another university senior couldn't help asking.

The top expert in administrative law nodded, "As far as this case itself is concerned, I am not worried. However, I would like to remind everyone here to pay attention to Yoshiichi Kitahara, the attorney representing this case."

Attention lawyers in this case?The big shots present at the meeting showed some incredulous expressions when they heard this reminder.Why pay attention to a lawyer for a case?Lawyers are just pawns who charge forward for their clients.The focus of attention should be that Mikiko Tamai.

Asakurahiko continued, "On the way here, I have checked the information of this lawyer. This lawyer may be a lawyer who specializes in blackmail lawsuits. From the Kawamoto Expressway case and the General Hotel case that he represented before, it can be seen that It can be seen that he is the kind who specializes in large-scale enterprises and institutions, through this kind of "trivial" litigation to achieve the purpose of extorting a large amount of money. Moreover, I have read the previous lawsuits of the university. In the case of Fujimura This lawyer has appeared in the Morimoto and Morimoto corruption cases. Now that he is representing Mikiko's case, I am afraid that this lawyer has come here specifically to target the university for another purpose."

The blackmail lawyer who came here specifically for the university... Hearing Asakurahiko's words, many high-level officials became even more confused.Why is a lawyer staring at Kyoto University?

"That is to say, we have to be careful what this lawyer might use this case to play." Asakurahiko continued calmly.In just a few words, the guess given by this great administrative law authority is almost quite close to the real situation.This is just the result of only spending about [-] minutes reading materials on the road.

"Since this is a specific blackmail lawsuit against the university, our university must fight back resolutely." Takeuchi followed up immediately, "If we don't take a strong counterattack against such cases, then I'm afraid there will be many people who will fight back. Treat our Kyoto University as a target to be bullied!"

For Takeuchi, downplay the other party's identity as a member of his own research group.

It would be in his best interest to turn the lawsuit into a dispute between outside and inside the university, rather than within the university itself.

"Vice President Takeuchi thinks the matter is not big enough." Ochi next to him sarcastically said again, "Don't forget! The Accounting Inspection Institute is still investigating the affairs of the production and research enterprises of our Faculty of Engineering. Now the university is in troubled times, and at this moment you still have to Let the university respond publicly and be in the whirlpool of public opinion, don't you think this is a wise move!"

"Is this a game where the clearer clears himself?" Takeuchi sneered, "The current era is not as good as before. Now is an era of rapid information explosion. If you don't take the initiative to clarify, it will only make the public opinion initiated by the other party The battle was successful. Now the onlookers are a group of people who can only watch the excitement and can’t think independently. Whoever exposes something more eye-catching and more curious, they will support whoever. If our university is really silent , then it will be too late when this incident has an irreparable impact on the reputation of the school!"

"What's going on with Mikiko? If our university doesn't start an internal investigation first, but rushes to respond, what will we do if something goes wrong? Is this how the reputation that our Kyoto University has gradually accumulated over the past hundred years came about? Was it a waste!" Ochi couldn't help standing up, looking at the people in the conference room.

"Do you want to challenge the university? Professor Ochi!" Takeuchi was not polite, and he drew his cold eyes like a weapon, looking at the opponent, "Mikiko's plagiarism of other people's papers has been rigorously discussed by the university. It is a conclusion made after meetings and discussions of relevant scientific research experts, and a final vote. Every step of announcing the revocation of Mei Xizi’s doctorate degree was strictly followed by the university’s regulations, and there were corresponding documents and meeting minutes for each step. Do you think you are better than Can the authorities in these fields be more sophisticated!"

"It's not that I want to challenge the university's authority. I wonder if there is something hidden. Vice President Takeuchi wants to obstruct the internal investigation!" Ochi replied directly.

"Naive! Doesn't it take time to start an internal investigation?! From selecting investigators, to determining the scope of the investigation, conducting the investigation, and finally forming an investigation report and internal review. After such a set of procedures, the lawsuit may have already been closed. It's over! Professor Ochi, your proposal is completely equivalent to asking the university to wait until the lawsuit is over before responding. Do you think this is realistic?! Yes, Kyoto University is indeed in the whirlpool of public opinion. Therefore, it is even more necessary to respond proactively. Firmly grasp the dominance of public opinion! Takeuchi retorted loudly.

In the conference room, Takeuchi and Ochi confronted each other, and they were in the same situation.

The power layer of Kyoto University is almost on the verge of declaring a rupture.

Seeing this, someone next to him immediately rushed over to persuade the fight and ease the tense situation.

Soon, the school emergency meeting immediately discussed whether to publicly respond to the Mikiko incident...

……

At 4:32 p.m., university executives made their decision.Considering that the Association for the Promotion of Academic Affairs has already visited the campus, in the event of such a bad situation, the university should take the initiative to respond to address the concerns of the Association for the Promotion of Academic Affairs.Therefore, the school emergency meeting agreed to a public response to the Mikiko incident...
