First-Class Lawyer

Chapter 52 Power of Attorney

"Chen Zhang?" Yan Suizhi was puzzled, "Is that the name of George Manson's diving instructor? Is it the same person or the same name? What about other information?"

Gu Yan: "That's all for now."

"Are you sure you want to use 'some' to describe the thing in my hand?" Yan Suizhi shook the solitary thin simulated paper page.

Generally speaking, the legal aid center of the alliance sends a complete power of attorney, which will contain three parts——

The first is a brief overview of the case, which can explain which case it is, its nature, the situation of the victim and the identity of the parties.

The second is to sue related documents, which will allow the entrusted lawyer to know the progress of the previous litigation and understand how much preparation time he has.

The third part is a stamped and signed notice. The notice is usually only a few sentences, and it is all formatted official nonsense.

In addition, when the entrustment letter is delivered, those thick case materials will also be delivered together, collected and organized by the law firm's affairs assistants, and sent to the entrusted lawyers together.

This is the most common.

But what Yan Suizhi got now was only the lonely "notice" part.

Except for the names of the lawyer and the client, no other fart can be seen.

"Has the document been leaked?" Yan Suizhi said.

Gu Yan: "I have asked the assistant to ask."

Yan Suizhi pointed to his pseudonym, "By the way, did you write the wrong person? It's too late to regret it now."

"..."

In fact, in addition to practicing lawyers, the Legal Aid Center also has a backup list of all lawyers who are qualified as lawyers but are in the internship period.It is not uncommon for power of attorney to slip into the hands of trainee lawyers.

Either there are special circumstances, or the commission has been directly rejected by many lawyers in succession.

In short, relatively rare.

But Chen Zhang's name is too easily reminiscent of George Manson and the accident that happened to him.

"Could it be that George Manson's case has been clarified?" Yan Suizhi shook his head after guessing, "No, it's a little too soon."

Gu Yan glanced at the smart clocks of the whole galaxy on the wall of the office. As a well-known vacation star, Lyra, where Yaba Island is located, is very small, and there is also a time difference with Decama. Since the last contact Sheriff Kane, it's been five days on Decama's side, and it's been over a week on Lyra's side.

With the efficiency of the police station on Tianqin, it usually takes about [-] days for a case to take place, investigate and collect evidence, and confirm the suspect.It takes another ten days from the confirmation of the suspect to the filing of the lawsuit by the prosecution, and then to the legal aid center appointing a lawyer for the defendant.

So whether it is five days or more than a week, it is not too long in front of such a time period.

Gu Yan thought for a while, and tried to dial Sheriff Kane's communication number.This time it didn't ring for a few seconds before the other party answered.

Both of them were not the type to chat in circles, so they went straight to the point when they opened their mouths.

"What about George Manson?"

"Oh, I have been working overtime for the past two days. I forgot to tell you. George Manson is still lying in the rescue cabin. It is hard to say whether he can be saved. His health is too poor. The news about Manson The family is very tightly guarded, and it is inconvenient for me to say more. As for the case, it has been handed over to the higher-level police station. It involves deliberate murder. The police station at my level only has the right of preliminary investigation. Hand it in." Sergeant Kane said, "It's been a few days, and the communication numbers of your friends may still be restricted for the time being, but soon, it will only take a day or two."

Kane thought he was simply worried about his friend, so he explained the situation succinctly.Regarding the specific development of the case, the higher-level police station has not announced it, so he can't say it without authorization.

Of course Gu Yan knew this, and also knew Kane's temper, so he didn't ask any more questions, and hung up the communication after saying a few words.

"According to Kane, the case may indeed be closed." Yan Suizhi was a little surprised at the efficiency of the police station this time. "It seems that the Manson family is putting a lot of pressure."

"It's also possible that the investigation is not difficult." Gu Yan said.

Or both.

By the time the assistant's feedback was sent to Yan Suizhi, it was already the next morning.

Unfortunately, it happened just in time for the league's initial review of Tier [-] attorney applicants.Early in the morning, Gu Yan and Hobbs took the shuttle to the planet where the review committee headquarters was located with the senior affairs officer, and they couldn't come back within three to five days, and this kind of thing is not suitable for bringing interns.

"I've checked with the center, and it's true that you're the one who's entrusted, and there's nothing wrong with it." The affairs assistant explained to Yan Suizhi, "The case information has been consolidated overnight, and it's being sent to you now, please accept it."

Soon, a not-so-thick stack of materials spit out from the light brain, and Yan Suizhi quickly browsed through it. Only then did he understand why the efficiency of the police station is so high.

After the case of George Manson was handed over to the third district police station of Lyra Star, the police officers conducted a second round of investigation and evidence analysis overnight, and the suspicion quickly pointed to George Manson's diving instructor Chen Zhang. When digging his past experience, he discovered some entanglements with the Manson family and found the motive of the crime.

The most smooth thing about this case is that Chen Zhang did not make too much sophistry and resistance, and the person who was interrogated pleaded guilty on the spot, and the contents of the two confessions were consistent, which saved a lot of trouble.

In addition, the Manson family frantically followed behind like a reminder, which made the George Manson case the fastest case ever solved by the Third District Police Department, so fast that even the police officers themselves Very confused.

As the saying goes, money can turn ghosts. After the Manson family's high-pressure reminders finished attacking the police station, they immediately turned their guns and started attacking the prosecution and the court in the third district.Claiming that only the murderer was punished, George Manson was relieved that there was no possibility of recovery.

When human life is involved, can the prosecution and the court refuse?

Obviously not.

As a result, this layer of high pressure visibly increased the speed of the entire process. Before the lifting of the ban on the relevant personnel of other cases was completed, the case came to the stage of entrusting a lawyer.

During the whole process, Chen Zhang's attitude was very cooperative in the early stage, but very negative in the later stage, and even directly gave up the right to independently entrust a lawyer.

So the case went through the legal aid center and fell into the hands of a trainee lawyer.

This intern is Yan Suizhi.

"Ruan?" Locke, who was also dropped by the teacher, sneaked into Lawyer Gu's office in the evening.

Yan Suizhi raised his eyes and said, "Why do you always look like a thief?"

"I heard you took a case?" Locke looked a little excited like a weasel seeing a chicken.

"Yes." Yan Suizhi nodded.

"What kind? Is it complicated?"

Yan Suizhi looked at his expression, and said cooperatively: "It's quite complicated."

"Really?!" This time the weasel had already stolen the chicken.But soon he sighed again, "Hey—that's great, why didn't anyone give me one with trembling hands."

He was envious for a while, then quickly shifted his attention, and said, "By the way, Lawyer Gu is not here, so you don't have to work overtime tonight?"

Yan Suizhi shook his head, "I'm about to pack my things."

"That's just right!" Locke said, "You were delayed for two days when you went to Yaba Island last time. The apartment I found for you was cut off. I just received a message from the landlord in the afternoon, saying that it was cut off. That person changed his mind, so the apartment is still empty now, if you are okay now, I can just take you to have a look."

In the past few days, because the residence has not yet been settled, Yan Suizhi still lives with Gu Yan.

It's just that Gu Yan either appeared in court or went on a short business trip these days. He was on Yaba Island for work delays, and he went back to the law firm a few times in the middle, but he almost never lived in his own house, and the two of them didn't meet much.

"I'm afraid it won't work today." Yan Suizhi stood up and took all the case information into the optical brain.

Locke was taken aback: "Ah? Why?"

"I just said it." Yan Suizhi smiled, "I have to pack my things. The assistant just helped me book a shuttle ticket. I need to go to Tianqin tomorrow."

"What are you doing on Lyra?" Locke was still at a loss.

Yan Suizhi flicked the optical brain lightly with his fingers, and said, "Because of the case that was assigned to me with trembling hands."

"So fast?!" Locke said, "Don't you wait for Lawyer Gu to come back? At least let him prepare for you. I heard from a senior who graduated that he participated in the trial independently for the first time. He behaved in a mess and blushed so hot Egg, double-sided."

"..."

Professor Yanda may not know what it feels like to blush in his life.

He casually boasted: "Oh? It's quite interesting, you're full of blood."

Locke: "..."

"Are you really planning to go alone?" Locke asked again.

With that tone, it seemed that what Yan Suizhi was going to was not the court but the Yellow Springs Avenue.

"Yeah." Yan Suizhi snorted with a smile, put on his coat and tied a scarf, and said, "I can't wait for Lawyer Gu, the court time here is a bit tight."

"When will the court be held?"

"Next week." Yan Suizhi said.

"Isn't that just a few days?" Locke exclaimed, "Why are you in such a hurry? It doesn't make sense! I arranged for a trainee lawyer, and I only gave so many days to prepare. Isn't that a sure thing to lose?"

After finishing speaking, he paused, as if he suddenly understood something, and said, "Ah... Could it be..."

Why do assistance centers find trainee lawyers with trembling hands?

It is said that it was rejected by the barrister many times, maybe...

After all, defending the suspect, in the eyes of those people, is against the victimized Manson family, and there must be many people who are not happy.

But in such a short period of time, how many lawyers are enough for them to ask?

It is more likely that after the Manson family put pressure on the police court, they pointed the arrow at the aid center, so the aid center simply complied with their wishes, abandoning the experienced and risky barrister, and turning to the backup center. Curry picked a trainee lawyer.

Ruan Ye's resume with this identity can't even make up two lines, and he looks like a dawdler at first glance, which couldn't be more suitable.

It's not like Yan Suizhi has never seen this kind of situation where a trainee lawyer is used to cover up troubles, so he understands a thing or two at a glance.

He also confirmed with Fitz in the afternoon that in the aid center's database, his intern status was under the name of Moore's lawyer, because Southern Cross Law Firm defaulted that Gu Yan was the temporary teacher, while Moore The lawyer is not in the limelight, and his interns are nothing special.

Locke was stunned for a long time with his mouth gaping, and then he said: "So I'm looking for a trainee lawyer... I'm sure you will lose?!"

Yan Suizhi looked outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows behind the desk, and could feel the coldness of the glass before he went out.He pulled the scarf to cover his chin, tilted the corner of his mouth and said, "Yes, are you still envious?"

Locke almost shook his head off, "No, no, you... hey... take care."

The next morning, Yan Suizhi got on the shuttle to Lyra with his optical brain and simple luggage.

Going on a business trip alone was so familiar to him that he almost forgot that he was still an intern. Most importantly, he forgot to report to the teacher.

Professor Yanda has lived for so many years and has never had the habit of reporting to others, so he didn't realize it at all for a while.

Until a communication was received on the shuttle.

Seeing the narrow-minded mint jumping on the screen, Yan Suizhi hesitated for two seconds, feeling a little guilty for no reason, but disappeared in a blink of an eye.

He coughed, connected to the communication, opened his mouth and said confidently: "I was looking for you, but you are very good at picking the time."

Very, very frank.

Gu Yan at the other end of the communication: "..."

Liar?

But in such a block, lawyer Gu could only follow the words: "What's the situation with the case?"

There weren't too many shuttlers this time, and the seat next to Yan Suizhi was vacant, but he still didn't have the habit of talking endlessly on such occasions, so he said the key points in a few words, and I believe the other party could understand what they should understand.

Under the building of the Joint Review Committee, the senior affairs officer held a cup of coffee by himself and handed another cup to Gu Yan.

Gu Yan wore earbuds, and while opening the small lid of the coffee cup, he gave a low "um" and simply answered the person on the other end of the communication.

Until someone's comment on the aid center came from the ear button: "Persimmons are only picky and soft."

"..."

Lawyer Gu choked on a mouthful of coffee.

"Eh? What's the matter?" The senior affairs officer looked at him and frowned and coughed a few times, "Why did you choke? Did you catch the wind?"

Gu Yan waved his hand, and when he raised his face, his expression was gone, "It's nothing, I heard a lie." After speaking, he hung up the communication without waiting for someone in his earbuds to respond.

The persimmons are picky and soft... and they pick Yan Suizhi.

What a vision.
