Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 554 Sentencing (Two in One)

As the judge announced the adjournment, the audience in the entire trial court was already boiling.Two waitresses, one husband, one waitress and five people, and it happened in the most prestigious biology department in Toyo. This is enough news to shock the industry.Who would have thought that an even crazier absurdity like this would be hidden under a seemingly absurd degree revocation lawsuit.The reporters in the back row of the auditorium have almost fallen into a state of almost carnival, constantly making phone calls, delivering the latest news to the TV station they belong to.

Muraki's cold sweat flowed all over his body, and the sweat had soaked the shirt inside his suit. At this moment, the professor felt as if his body was buried in the scorching sun desert, unable to move.After an unknown number of minutes, Muraki raised his hand with difficulty to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and immediately got up and left the courtroom.At this time, several professors who were related to Mikiko also got up one after another, and they were about to leave with panicked faces.

"Professor Muraki! It's Professor Muraki! It's Mikiko's tutor!!" A reporter recognized the figure who was about to leave in front of him, and immediately shouted, "There are also Professor Fukuliu and Professor Kasai!"

The reporter's voice was like the blood of the prey, attracting more beasts in an instant.Many reporters in the back row rushed forward, surrounded Muraki and others, and all kinds of simple recording pens were immediately stabbed in front of these professors.

Muraki had never seen such a scene before, and he was already extremely guilty. At this moment, when he saw the reporters rushing forward, his body trembled, and he yelled out "ah", his legs went weak He fell backwards and sat paralyzed on the ground, unable to get up even with help.

Takeuchi, who had been sitting in the front row, was already speechless by the scene in front of him.The situation changed so suddenly that he became a chicken feather before he could react at all.This ruthless character, who has always been domineering and arbitrary, also lost the ability to speak when facing the reality in front of him.

Takeuchi seemed to suddenly think of something, and then turned to look at the Ministry of Education officials beside him, but when his eyes swept over, Takeuchi's heart immediately "thumped".

It can be seen that the faces of these two officials from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology have directly shown a sullen expression that cannot be seen at ordinary times.In today's trial, the presence of these two officials has to some extent demonstrated the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's platform for Kyoto University and their supportive attitude.However, at the end of today's trial, he encountered such a shameful humiliation.This will make it difficult for the big figures in the Ministry of Education to step down.This is simply that they took the initiative to stretch out their faces to fight each other!
The two members from the National University Juridical Person Evaluation Committee stood up, and before Takeuchi could say a word, they just let out a cold snort, then turned and left.

Seeing this, Takeuchi hurriedly got up and was about to catch up.

"As for the materials submitted by the plaintiff after court, because they are not provided as evidence and have not been cross-examined by both parties, they are not used as the factual basis for determining this case."

It was like in a snowy night, the girl selling matches hiding in the corner finally had a little warmth of her own.

Time passed minute by minute.

"Zakyo District District Court, Administrative Judgment of First Instance Jingzuo [23] No. 352." Suddenly, the voice of Judge Kawata rang out from the trial bench, "The plaintiff, Mikiko Tamai. The plaintiff's attorney, Yoshiichi Kitahara of Eto Law Firm Lawyer, trainee lawyer at Eto Law Firm Saeko Miyagawa."

"Huh?" Mikiko slowly raised her head. The judges in the courtroom had stepped back, but the back of the judge's chair was hanging high. The heavyweights had pale faces one after another.Did you win?Did the judge just say that he won?Did the judge just say that the deprivation decision made by Kyoto University needs to be revoked?
The scene that Mikiko couldn't even imagine in her dreams really happened in front of her eyes at this moment.I won, I really won!What the Beiyuan lawyer said to himself has really come true!At this moment, Mikiko's body trembled uncontrollably, her nose suddenly sore.

After answering softly, Mikiko curled up slightly, lowered her head, and sat quietly beside Kitahara without looking around.Her hands were also retracted into the sleeves, and from the shape of the clothes, her fingers seemed to be grasping the fabric, grasping so hard that many folds appeared around the cuffs.

"Second, whether the principle of due process is applicable to this case. This court believes that administrative actions must follow the principle of due process. When taking administrative actions, the corresponding organizations with responsibilities shall abide by the principle of due process, and shall guarantee the relative person's right to know, right to defense and right to remedy."

Suddenly, the voice of a male lawyer came from the side.

"[-]. Rescind the decision of the defendant Kyoto University to deprive the plaintiff of his doctorate, and make a new corresponding administrative action within [-] days."

Suddenly, there was a "beep", and the indicator light next to the referee's seat turned from red to green.The secret door opened, and the judge in charge of human authority reappeared in the trial court.Judge Kawata, who was the leader, walked slowly to the stage holding a paper of judgment in his hand.Against the backdrop of the black judge's burqa, even a doctor of law who looks young in his 30s seems to have a sense of supreme authority at this moment, as if he could overwhelm the sky.

""If you are not satisfied with this judgment, you can submit an appeal letter to this court within 15 days from the date of service of this judgment, and provide copies according to the number of parties involved, and appeal to the Kyoto High Court. ""

"Two hours later." Kitahara replied.

She tried to hold back.

The sentencing is over.

"Ah."

With tears streaming down her face, Mikiko suddenly smiled.

The extremely oppressive aura of the judges immediately enveloped the entire trial court.

In front of this lawsuit, she bet her whole life.

Instead, he's done enough.

I could see the girl walking forward step by step, her hat brim revealing a coldness and determination.

Obviously... He seems to be such a fool, but standing beside him, he feels inexplicably at ease.

In an instant, everyone in the court stood up in a daze.This lawsuit is finally coming to an end.Everyone was staring at the information in Judge Kawada's hands, eager to see the result of the referee in advance.

By revoking the university's decision, it proves that your degree is still there.

For some reason, the reporters present seemed a little frightened by Mikiko's expression at this moment, and none of them dared to surround her to interview her.

The moment Mikiko appeared in the courtroom, the entire courtroom fell silent.

How could it be possible to hold back!

The girl continued to walk forward and came to the trial area, then raised her hand to open the wooden fence, walked to the plaintiff's seat, and sat down.

No matter how late the train is, it will arrive at the station eventually.

Mikiko was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the male lawyer standing beside her.All of a sudden, an extremely complicated emotion welled up in my heart.Really...couldn't you tell me in a softer tone?Mikiko suddenly went into a daze, remembering the first time she met the lawyer Kitahara.It was in the apartment, and he brought people from the Accounting Inspection Institute, and a large group of people came to question him.It's... really annoying.Every time I came to the apartment to see myself report the case, I always quietly took a lot of my snacks, which made me hungry in the middle of the night, and I had to go to the convenience store to buy things again.He obviously looks like a person in his 20s, who is about the same age as him, but for some reason, he can pat his chest and tell himself that he will definitely win this lawsuit.Obviously he is just a young man, but it seems that the whole world is in his hands.

"Take your hat off and don't forget to follow court etiquette."

No one seemed to understand what the judge had said.

This girl has put her whole life on the line.

In fact, Mikiko never thought that she would really win this lawsuit.

"First, whether awarding degrees is an administrative act. According to the "Regulations on the Granting of Degrees by National Legal Persons", the establishment of a national university is authorized by law. Kyoto University is a university legal person established by the Act No. 13567 of the National Assembly. The act of awarding degrees is Acts carried out in accordance with the regulations of the National Assembly. The "Regulations on the Granting of Degrees by National Legal Persons" stipulates that the university confers degrees for the purpose of promoting the cultivation of national talents and improving education and scientific research in Japan. Therefore, it should be considered that the conferring of degrees is the legal person of a national university legal person The act of exercising the above-mentioned functions and powers. Therefore, conferring degrees is an administrative act. The counterparty may initiate an administrative lawsuit according to law."

Such a beautiful smile.

"The trial of this case has now been concluded. The following facts have been determined after the trial: The plaintiff Mikiko Tamai is a doctoral student in the Department of Life Sciences of Kyoto University. "Research on the Secondary Structure of Proteins and Nucleic Acids under Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy" and "About the Acidification of Phosphate Group-Oriented Molecules in Proteins". After accepting the two papers, CurrentBio and Bioresearch gave feedback to Kyoto University in this and five years The two papers involved in the case were plagiarized. Subsequently, Kyoto University formed an investigation team, and the academic committee designated by the Degree Evaluation Committee established an investigation team with the participation of biological experts. After voting by the investigation team, the majority opinion believed that the above two papers published by Mikiko were suspected of plagiarism. The Academic Degree Evaluation Committee of Kyoto University later made a decision to confiscate the plaintiff’s doctorate on the grounds that the plaintiff, Mikiko, violated the “Regulations on the Awarding of National Legal Person Degrees” and the university’s internal “Academic Misconduct Handling and Prevention Rules”. Afterwards, the plaintiff filed an appeal against Rejected by Kyoto University."

At this moment, a figure appeared at the door of the court.This figure is wearing a gray hoodie and looks a little petite.Although she looked like a girl, her face was covered by the gray brim of the hat.When everyone present saw the gray clothes, although they didn't see the real face, they already knew who had arrived.The last time Mikiko beat a witness on the spot in court, she was wearing such a gray hooded top.

Strong electrical signals emanating from the biological spine and cerebral cortex.

All is not lost.

In this huge turmoil, what kind of mentality would such a girl have?
The girl in the gray hoodie continued to lie low, motionless, like a statue, so that people questioned whether she was just a puppet with life.

My degree is still there!
Mikiko sobbed violently, but at this moment, tears flowed out of her eyes uncontrollably.Step by step from a village girl to the present.She used to be one of the best among the students, but she eventually embarked on the road of selling her body.Until the complete break in the past two weeks, her absurd relationship with the high-ranking person was made public.As a woman, she had lost it all.However, the current victory in the lawsuit at least tells her that she still has a Ph.D.Yes, she did not rely on anyone to earn this Ph.D. with her own sweat. It was obtained during countless nights in the laboratory and over ten years.Today, I finally gave it back to myself.

In an instant, it seemed like all the blood in her body rushed to her head.

also had to face it.

Everything that has to be faced in the end will be faced.

one second.

"Third, whether Kyoto University has violated the principle of due process. According to the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Law, the organs and organizations that exercise administrative functions bear the burden of proof to prove the legality of administrative actions. In this case, the decision to revoke the doctorate degree made by Kyoto University did not specify There are procedural flaws. When investigating the plaintiff, Kyoto University truthfully informed whether the investigation would lead to the revocation of its doctorate. Both parties submitted corresponding evidence materials to prove it. This court believes that, Based on the available evidence, it is impossible to determine whether Kyoto University actually informed the plaintiff that the corresponding degree would be revoked during the investigation. Therefore, according to the principle of distribution of the burden of proof, it should be deemed that Kyoto University cannot provide evidence and should bear the adverse consequences of inability to provide evidence. Without informing the plaintiff of the consequences, Kyoto University failed to protect the plaintiff's right to know and defense, which is a procedural violation."

There is no room for retreat.

She—bet everything.

"Both the plaintiff and the defendant have submitted corresponding evidence on the above facts. Among them, the plaintiff believes that the defendant submitted evidence through a third party after the period of proof has passed, which violated the evidence loss system stipulated in the Administrative Procedure Law. This court believes that when the litigation involved in the case has a great impact on the interests of the third party, it has the right to provide evidence to the court on its own initiative. It cannot be denied by the evidence loss system. According to experts and professors, relevant evidence has an important impact on judging whether members of the investigation team properly fulfilled their obligations. This court accepts the evidence provided by the expert team in accordance with the law and does not violate the relevant provisions of the Administrative Procedure Law.”

The moment Mikiko heard the voice, her body trembled.She was obviously nervous and scared.Because of a lawsuit, he gambled his whole life.Now she has nothing, and has become a whore and a bitch that everyone scolds.She really has nothing left.The future has been completely ruined, and it is impossible for anyone to accept her again.Her whole life was really—completely and completely ruined.

Because she had no hope from the beginning, even if she lost, she would not complain to the lawyer in front of her.

Smile so innocently.

"Second, dismiss the plaintiff's other claims."

two seconds.

"Crack!"

No one could see her face clearly, no one could see her expression clearly.

The Sakyo District Magistrate’s judgment is so bold that it not only considers the conferring of degrees to be an administrative act, but the university’s actions from now on may also be subject to judicial review by the court, and it actually believes that Kyoto University is performing its duties In the process, it constituted a procedural violation, and the decision made by this top university was directly revoked!Really, really, revoked! !

However, the next second—Judge Kawada’s voice continued:
"With regard to the debate opinions expressed by both parties, this court's comprehensive judgment is as follows."

The entire court fell into an unprecedented silence.

Smile so youthfully.

"The plaintiff Tamai Mikiko sued the defendant Kyoto University for the revocation of her doctoral degree. This court applied ordinary procedures in accordance with the law and heard it openly after four court sessions. The plaintiff Tamai Mikiko and her attorneys, Kitahara Yoshiichi and Miyagawa Saeko attended the lawsuit. The defendant Kyoto University The attorneys, Asakura Hiko, and Takezawa Ayako appeared in court to participate in the lawsuit."

When he was willing to take on this case, in fact... he was already satisfied.

When Asakurahiko heard Judge Kawada read this, he couldn't help but smile, and he calmed down a little nervously.It seems that some romantic lace news still can't interfere with the legal judgment of his proud disciple.Sure enough, it is still impossible to win the lawsuit by relying on these crooked tricks!

The dial of time turns slowly.

"This court pronounces the sentence as follows."

No one knew what kind of mood Mikiko was in at this moment, no one knew what she was thinking at this moment.

"The judge pronounces the verdict, all stand up!" The clerk in the middle of the trial area raised his head and said.

The reporter who was still talking just now was also stunned, and countless eyes were focused on the girl in the center of the storm.

The sound of the gavel.

three seconds.

However, he couldn't help it no matter what.

When the impossible actually happens, there is only unspeakable shock.

Until someone came to his senses and said softly: "Just now... just now, did the judge say that he revoked the decision to deprive Kyoto University of a degree?"

"The judges: Toshiya Kawada, Matsuki Umeen, Yoshiyo Kuno, Akino Nakamori, Masato Ashida, Yae Nishiguchi."

"How long is the sentence?" the girl asked.

It is of course self-evident what it means for a girl to announce her improper relationship with several professors.

"Defendant Kyoto University, legal representative: Nakaharu Ouchi. Attorney, Kyoto University professor and part-time lawyer Asakura Hiko Sadahisa; lawyer of Refuk Law Firm, Takezawa Ayako."

Like a girl entering school for the first time.

Her voice sounded——

"Lawyer Beiyuan."

"Thank you."
