What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 248: Chapter 116: Why Don't You Dare to Have a Fight with Old Tang? (Monthly Ticket Extra)

Netizens, always love a big scene and never shy away from a commotion.

Especially when it comes to such matters, every kind of netizen becomes particularly united at times like this.

Without saying much, they just want to watch the live broadcast of the court trial, and some even helpfully posted the relevant legal provisions.

It's just a labor dispute case, and it's not going to involve any privacy issues, so broadcasting the trial live is absolutely necessary!

Therefore, the pressure from public opinion quickly mounted on the side of the court trial broadcast network...

This isn't something that can be decided solely by Lanhe Court; Xiping City is definitely going to get involved.

The court trial broadcast network responded to the netizens' demands and stated they were in contact already.

While the internet was buzzing with activity, Old Tang's side hadn't stopped; it turns out having a wide network really does have its benefits.

In this period, he gave lectures at various colleges and met many local students.

So, when some students learned he was suing the court, they started to actively help him!

The students could care less if the local court loses face; everyone just loves a good show!

Li Yong's mother remembers the person who recruited her, after all, she was managed by them right after she took the post; it was a head of the logistics center of the court back then.

The students actively helped, some even inquired with their parents, and within a district, generally, everyone within the system is connected in one circle or another through various relationships.

So, Old Tang found this head of the department, who had long since retired.

The person was unwilling to testify in court, even refusing to meet him. No matter, Old Tang immediately submitted an application for evidence preservation to Lanhe Court.

According to "Civil Procedure Law" Article 72, any unit or individual aware of the case situation must have the duty to testify in court!

No need to explain what duty means; everyone should already be aware of it.

Unless there are justifiable reasons, you must testify; even if you don't appear in court, you still need to provide a statement.

After applying to the court, Old Tang stopped paying attention; if Lanhe Court didn't go forth with the evidence preservation, it would give him even more reason.

Moreover, under the current circumstances, Old Tang didn't believe for a second that Lanhe Court would ignore it; with such intense public interest and being in a different place from Anchang Court.

This is the advantage of jurisdiction in a different area; they wouldn't dare take a risk to cover for you...

Time quickly advanced to the next day. In Anchang Court, Judge Song had just arrived at the office when a staff member came in to remind him, "Judge Song, um... the court trial broadcast network just sent a notification that our case will be publicly broadcast."

What? Hearing this, Judge Song was numbed; the issue's sudden explosion on the internet the day before had already made their scalps tingle.

Now, they were going to live broadcast the trial, which is almost comparable to a case where the entire court had to recuse itself...

And from beginning to end, in all the discussions, no one had consulted them at Anchang Court...

Is this what it feels like to be the defendant?

Judge Song sighed; to be honest, these issues aren't something his current leadership team should be taking the blame for. Back in the day, it was common practice, hence the term "historical issues."

He had just not expected to encounter someone who insisted on bringing this issue to the forefront.

Forget the fact that they were just a grassroots court; even if they were a level higher, it would be challenging to influence the Jingzhou Lawyers Association.

Alas, Anchang Court was about to gain notoriety, at the very least, students studying law at Politics and Law University would definitely hear their professors mention this case in lectures...

Good news stays indoors, while bad news travels a thousand miles, and this is true in any industry.

The court trial broadcast network released a new notification of the live broadcasted court trial, and netizens immediately boiled over with excitement: damn, this is getting serious!

In Magic City, Lawyer Zheng, who had been attacking Tang Fangjing online, didn't dare to criticize him anymore. Seeing this piece of news, his wisdom teeth were nearly crushed.

He had gone to great lengths to become an internet celebrity, chasing any trend for attention, always ready to throw in his two cents on any issue, posting updates with extreme frequency. Sometimes, for the sake of popularity, he would even deliberately make provocative statements—infamy is still fame, after all.

But what was the result? His followers were barely alive.

On the other hand, look at Tang Fangjing, usually invisible, popping up once in a blue moon, yet when he does appear, his following skyrockets, and the traffic is astonishing!

No, with that kind of traffic, why are you still suing, Lawyer Zheng couldn't understand.

In Xiping City, inside the law firm that had initially entertained Li Yong, a lawyer stared blankly at the news on the internet.

A chance to become famous had once presented itself before him, and he had let it slip through his fingers.

Thinking back on what he told Li Yong at the time, the lawyer wanted to slap himself; he had told Li Yong not to dwell on such things, that there was no solution.

Now, the man had directly taken the court to court, and it seemed there was no issue at all.

As for the netizens' comments, they were quite direct.

"@CourtTrialBroadcastNetwork, big brother, you are my Dad!"

"Nothing to say; first I'll give a big bro two kowtows, give me some face, and from now on, let's trash talk less."

"So, the question is, will the court hire a lawyer when it's the one being sued?"

No sooner had the third guy posted his comment than he was slammed by others.

"Are you stupid? The court hiring a lawyer? Do you think they haven't embarrassed themselves enough?"

However, it wasn't long before someone said, if the court were to appoint a judge specialized in labor disputes as a representative, what would be the verdict of the case?

This comment made everyone scratch their heads, but this was also the key to the case capturing everyone's interest.

You see, usually, when a judge exercises discretionary power, phrases like "the court believes" and "the verdict is as follows" almost always decisively conclude the entire case.
