I Became a Law School Genius – 102



I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 102

I managed to regain my composure and answer.

“Actually I’m also a confirmer.”

Then Ha Gyu-min’s eyes widened.

“Jin & Ahn’s.”

“…What?!”

It’s not even just a confirmation. Didn’t the seniors in charge catch me while begging me to come into our company?

It’s a bit funny to put it this way but it was more like an approval of the confirmation on my part.

“That can’t be possible.”

“A new summer internship for first-year students was opened this time right? “I got it from there.”

I took out a piece of paper from the document bag I was carrying. An agreement permitting my employment in the name of Jin & Ahn.

I didn’t carry it around because I was particularly proud of it. It just flew into the courthouse this morning.

When I was talking with the seniors they mentioned that I was going to participate in the Jain Court Argument Competition and they seemed to have remembered that and sent it to the Seoul Central District Court.

‘Be mindful of your sincerity.’

If it were anyone other than me my heart would have been shaken by the passionate courtship.

‘No there’s no need to woo.’

For those dreaming of joining a law firm Jin & Ahn was a name they could not refuse.

To what extent even students who had already been confirmed by other large law firms would rush to Jin & Ahn’s unofficial information session while drooling.

“It’s true….”

Like Ha Gyu-min right now who is just staring at the contract I handed over in confusion.

“Congratulations on being confirmed by King Taejong. “You are truly amazing.”

I applauded with exaggerated movements and praised Ha Gyu-min.

“Actually one of our classmates is the daughter of representative attorney Taejong. “He was a close friend of mine so I was really excited to hear what a great law firm Taejong was.”

“Are you friends with Miss Yu Ye-seul?”

“uh. Did you know? “Then the story will go faster.”

After all Yu Ye-seul is being raised as King Taejong’s successor.

It would not be strange if they received information from each rider’s confirmers and contacted them in advance.

I added as if driving a wedge into the stunned Ha Gyu-min.

“Because I really like showing off. When I return I will tell my friends the story of the legal argument contest. Maybe… I might end up telling a story about meeting an ‘opponent’ who had great skills enough to challenge another law firm even after being confirmed by King Taejong.”

“What?!”

Ha Gyu-min’s complexion turned pale.

He had just publicly expressed interest in Jin & An’s hiring process.

From Taejong’s point of view who gave confirmation to Ha Gyu-min it was an extremely shameful thing.

What would happen if I leaked this story to Yoo Ye-seul?

Let alone moving to Jin & An there is a high possibility that even the confirmation of King Taejong that has already been secured will become unprecedented.

Such calculations seemed to be going on in Ha Gyu-min’s shaking eyes.

“Are you threatening me!”

I was so embarrassed that I forgot to use formal language and spoke informally.

“Oh calm down. Why would I threaten Ha Gyu-min? “What can they do for me?”

“That’s obvious!”

Ha Gyu-min’s pointing.

“You can ask me to lose the contest!”

“no. There is no need to make such a request.”

I shook my head.

“Even if we fight with all our might we will win anyway.”

“…What?”

“Oh did you really think you would win?”

In that case there was nothing to say other than that the illusion was just a fraction.

Ha Gyu-min seen in the preliminaries video clearly had not bad skills. But honestly it was a step below us to stick with us.

‘I’m going to see all the funny guys.’

It’s good to have confidence and a strong competitive spirit. Therefore I did not give a bad evaluation to Baek Seo-yul who directly clashed with me during Jin & Ahn. People are just… tired.

However this case was a little different. Hasn’t your pride gone so far that it has reached the point of arrogance where you belittle and ignore others?

In particular the part where he ridiculed public office by calling it a battle for the resurrection of the losers really offended me.

‘There are no snobs like this.’

Disciplining a bastard is simple.

Just notify Yu Ye-seul.

It was true that I considered Yu Ye-seul a friend in my own way.

Taejong is the law firm that she will take over and lead in the future. It wasn’t my duty as a friend to let trash like this get into a place like that.

In addition I was able to use Seong Jin-tae to help Jin & Ahn.

This is the so-called reference check.

Investigating the reputation of the person being hired through people around them was a routine procedure during the confirmation process.

There was nothing that could be said to be an illegal move.

‘But… that alone is not enough.’

People of this type had to be defeated at least once before they could flourish.

Make sure to make sure that you don’t get away with it thinking it’s unfair.

If so let’s create a stage where they can accept their defeat.

“Let’s do it this way.”

After thinking about it I made a suggestion to Ha Gyu-min.

“Let’s stop the childish fighting and get along properly.”

I pointed to the courtroom beyond the entrance.

“what?”

“If Ha Gyu-min wins I will go back and stop talking about him. “If you lose it won’t be a success story worth bragging about right?”

It’s a simple story.

“If you want to live try defeating me with the skills you are so confident in.”

“…under!”

Ha Gyu-min burst out laughing as if it was absurd.

“Is it true that you won’t tell me?”

“sure. “I won’t say anything twice.”

Needless to say I wondered what could happen to you. But anyway what I said wasn’t a lie.

“You arrogant bastard. “I’ll flatten the bridge of your nose.”

“It’s a good thing to hear. “I look forward to a good match.”

“…out!”

Because I had no intention of losing.

Why do we need to make assumptions about things that may not happen?

* * *

“From now on we will begin the first criminal contest of the Jain Court Argument Competition.”

A middle-aged man sitting on the judge’s bench solemnly declared.

The robes he was wearing suited the serious atmosphere very well.

‘I guess so. ‘Because he’s a real judge.’

The final round of the legal argument competition was to be judged by current judges.

So the person sitting there is not someone acting as a judge but a real judge. It must have taken quite some time as the robes became worn and faded.

I heard that some people view it as unfavorable.

Isn’t the job of a judge one that suffers from heavy workload every day?

It was a controversial issue as to whether it was appropriate to burden them with the troublesome task of a legal argument contest.

“Participants on both sides will now have 30 minutes to review the records distributed and decide their desired position.”

However in Judge Lee’s case he did not seem to be very dissatisfied with taking on this role.

On the contrary I could feel a sense of duty in those solemn eyes to properly observe the path that young law students take.

In fact originally public officials were noblemen who worked with a sense of calling as their driving force.

‘By the way it’s 30 minutes. It’s increased compared to the preliminaries.’

There is no change without reason in the field of evaluating legal skills. If the time given increased it was natural that the amount of material that had to be looked through also increased correspondingly.

I glanced back at Hanseol who was standing next to me and saw that he was smiling bitterly as if he had come to the same conclusion.

“Then team leaders from both sides please come forward and receive the records.”

Team leader Han Seol went out and received the recorded data. One thick document envelope and a small USB.

Contrary to appearance it is not yet known which side contains more information.

“….”

Ha Gyu-min came out from the other side as if it was natural. However while receiving the materials he was casting a burning gaze not at the judge or Han Seol but at me.

I actually feel at ease when they come out with such a hostile attitude.

‘Because you won’t feel any hesitation when striking.’

“Then let’s see.”

The distribution of our roles was quick.

Returning to the waiting room I open the record envelope split the contents in half and Hanseol and I pick them up separately.

To get an overview of the case you can look at the list of crimes and evidence but for detailed information it is faster to go through each part separately.

The documents contained in the USB belong to Lee Ha-ru.

It was this time of understanding the outline and deciding on a position that ‘Nalmeok’ shines the most.

“Haam.”

Iharu still not feeling drowsy plugged the USB into the laptop with a fierce expression on his face.

There was no need to doubt him because he was a guy who did whatever he wanted to do.

First open the first page and check the format of the problem.

[problem]

Review the police and prosecution investigation records and the first criminal trial record and formulate an argument regarding the criminal facts of suspect Kim Gap-dong recorded in the lawsuit record as follows (if necessary collect additional evidence from the virtual reality experience device and request evidence and evidence) (To be presented during the investigation process. In this case all collected evidence is considered admissible).

1) If you choose to take the defense’s position present the logic for seeking a verdict of not guilty and dismissal of the indictment or a ruling that avoids imprisonment even if you are found guilty.

2) If you choose the prosecutor’s position present the logic for seeking a guilty verdict.

‘It’s a ruling that avoids imprisonment.’

A strange phrase caught my eye.

A verdict of not guilty or guilty is easy to understand. It’s a simple dichotomy: I won’t punish this guy because he’s innocent and I’ll punish him because he’s guilty.

Meanwhile the ruling states that the exemption or dismissal of the indictment has some legal issues so this case cannot be handled in this court.

It is classified as a ‘formal trial’ because it does not determine the actual truth but rather raises questions about procedure and form.

However it is a ruling that avoids imprisonment. What does this ambiguous order mean?

‘There are two main things I can think of.’

One is probation or suspended sentence. Even though he was found guilty there were various circumstances and it falls under the grounds for sentencing established by law so he is pleading to avoid being sentenced to prison.

In practice it was the ultimate goal of a criminal lawyer going to trial. This is because once a person has been indicted it is almost impossible to obtain complete acquittal.

However as a card to be presented at a debate contest it is somewhat lacking in appearance. Because the defendant is reflecting and is asking for leniency because it is his first offense.

‘The other one is… security disposition.’

Security measures refer to education or protective measures imposed instead of imprisonment.

When you often see in the news ‘200 hours of community service will be imposed on the defendant’ that community service order is a typical security measure.

Things like electronic anklets and probation are also in this category.

Either way it was a type I had never seen before during the preliminaries.

‘Maybe issues that haven’t been covered before may pop up.’

Of course that doesn’t change what needs to be done.

I calmly examined the crime.

[Crime facts]

go. Suspect Kim Gap-dong

(1) murder

(2) Special injuries

(3) Special residential invasion

(4) Illegal use of car lights

(5) Damage to property

“These are heinous crimes.”

“I know.”

Hanseol agreed with my sentiments.

They were all horrific crimes worthy of imprisonment.

Seeing that murder special injury and special home invasion were mentioned together there was a high possibility that the crime was committed with a weapon.

“Next is the list of evidence. “If you look at what evidence is presented it becomes easier to figure out what the dispute is.”

I flipped through the pages and found a sheet with a list of evidence.

“Oh.”

“Park Yu-seung. This could not be…”

Hanseol pointed his finger at a part of the evidence list with a perplexed expression. I also nodded.

‘Aha that’s why.’

Only then did I understand the part that bothered me about [the problem].

“Yes I think that is true.”

[List of evidence (witnesses etc.)]

1 kitchen knife (Registration No. 1)

Avoid witnesses

Witness Je Ji-hoon

Since the crime appears to have been committed using a weapon it is not surprising that a kitchen knife was present.

Considering the record’s unique naming method that witness ‘Na Pihae’ was probably the victim of a stabbing.

The problem was next.

[List of evidence (evidence documents etc.)]

Suspect interrogation report

Injury certificate

Seizure record

…(syncopation)…

Diary (written by Kim Gap-dong 20mmx12mm dark blue)

Medical certificate (schizophrenia)

Prescription (psychotropic medication)

Opinion (psychiatry)

The suspect’s mental illness diagnosis certificate is stuck in the evidence list.

Also a list of medications being taken and an opinion written by a psychiatrist.

All of this pointed to only one direction.

“This problem.”

A very awkward guy came out.

“I think the issue is mental and physical weakness… or mental and physical loss.”

The key issue was whether or not to recognize mental and physical loss for crimes committed by an insane person.
