    I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 66

    “Some investigation is needed.”

    – yes?

    “The legal issue itself is simple but there is little information to make a judgment. If you give me time I will meet your friend and the person who adopted the cat and respond. Do you have any contact information?

    – Oh that’s it. wait a minute.

    I thought Yoon Su-ah would be angry at me for not giving me an answer right away but surprisingly she obediently gave me the contact information of the two people. In fact he seemed a little happy.

    – You’re paying that much serious attention right?

    It seemed like it was worthwhile to patiently listen to Yoon Su-ah’s complaints and occasionally even let out meaningless exclamations.

    Psychology students call this type of thing Rapport.

    – So… how long can I expect to hear an answer?

    “It’s hard to say for sure but… If you call the number you just dialed at any time you will be connected to me through the Legal Clinic.”

    – That’s enough.

    Taewoon Yoo asked me after finishing the call.

    “What are you thinking?”

    “You can’t judge everything just by listening to the client’s story. Advice given hastily may have irreversible consequences. “For things like this you need to meet the person in person.”

    “You are really sincere….”

    Taewoon Yoo was the type to actively participate but there were few people like me who invested their personal time in solving the case.

    Law school life was busy sitting still and memorizing books.

    “If you’re going to do it you have to do it right.”

    However it is not something that can be approached lightly.

    Of course since this is consultation without yet having a lawyer’s license it is true that words carry less weight than those currently in office.

    Clients also often use the Legal Clinic to get a so-called ‘interview’ before looking for a practicing lawyer in earnest.

    Nevertheless I thought that if our advice could be linked to a problem that affects someone’s life we should at least be prepared to take that responsibility.

    “I also research data diligently and write reports diligently but I can’t do it like you.”

    “That’s possible. “I don’t force my way on other kids either.”

    It’s just that my values ​​are like that. Forced ideology is self-righteous and stubborn.

    “now. When the consultation is over disperse. “Don’t forget to fill out the parking discrimination report and upload it.”

    Before we knew it other groups had quietly gathered around as if they had finished talking to the client and Seongcheol Choi waved his hand and sent them away.

    Okay then let’s get to work.

    * * *

    “Yoonsuah? under….”

    When I met Ms. A in person her real name was Cha Ye-sol and she was a simple-looking woman with her hair pulled back and wearing glasses.

    “is it so. I sold that crazy bitch’s cat. but.”

    When I introduced that I graduated from Korea University’s Legal Clinic Cha Ye-sol took a wary attitude at first.

    However when I calmly explained that I was not on anyone’s side and that I wanted to help solve the problem she soon began to tell her story as if a dam had burst.

    “I couldn’t bear it without doing that. “I was already at my limit.”

    Stories that probably anyone would want to hear.

    In high school Cha Ye-sol was a simple and inconspicuous student like she is now.

    Yoon Su-ah has been taking her with her and using her as a folding screen to highlight herself.

    Cha Ye-sol who was quick-witted did not know Yun Su-ah’s true intentions but she could not stop hanging out with her.

    Because there were so many things that fell when I was around her.

    When she came to her senses she had already become like a maid who followed everything Yoon Su-ah said.

    “That was stupid.”

    In general it was a statement consistent with what was extracted from Yoon Su-ah’s one-sided argument.

    “I don’t like cats. Because I’m allergic. But… I couldn’t reject Yoon Su-ah’s words.”

    It is said that it was so severe that even just being in the same space let alone touching it caused hives to appear on the body.

    Nevertheless she persevered and looked after Somi but one night when she was particularly tired she woke up to the sound of a cat crying and finally exploded.

    “I wondered what this was doing. After eating twenty-six of them and being manipulated by others. “My skin is red and stained and the area around my eyes is also dark because I have trouble sleeping.”

    Cha Ye-sol who could not bear her own pathetic feelings and drank a lot of soju uploaded Yoon Su-ah’s cat to a sales brokerage site while still drunk and sold it as soon as she was contacted.

    “The act of disposing of property entrusted to you by another person may be a crime of theft.”

    “Then what is the crime of putting people down and beating them up for eight years?”

    “….”

    “It wouldn’t be a crime. I know. It was me who was at fault. “If they had cut out Yoon Su-ah and said they didn’t like it even once it wouldn’t have gotten to this point.”

    But Cha Ye-sol confessed that she did not have the courage to do so.

    “Is this expression ‘rebellion’ a bit funny? Anyway I wouldn’t have been able to rebel without the influence of alcohol. I think it went well. “I wanted to have a proper fight with that bitch Yoon Su-ah just once and end the relationship no matter what the cost.”

    “Are you serious about that?”

    “yes?”

    “The ‘no matter what the cost’ part.”

    When I asked seriously Cha Ye-sol looked embarrassed but quickly nodded.

    “No matter what the cost.”

    Cha Ye-sol was a weak-hearted person.

    Although she impulsively caused a major accident this time she judged herself that she would never be able to go against Yoon Soo-ah if she was sober.

    To be honest Cha Ye-sol confessed that even now if she were to stand in front of Yoon Su-ah she would not have the confidence to confidently say everything she wanted to say.

    “I understand.”

    That’s exactly what I wanted to check.

    * * *

    “No matter what happens I can’t give this baby away!”

    Somi’s adopted son Seo Hwi-seong cried out resolutely.

    “There is a separate original owner? This is especially not possible. “You left that damned human almost on the verge of death!”

    Seo Hwi-seong even presented the medical certificate he received from the veterinarian at the animal hospital to find out when the dog was weaned.

    “Look at this. Severe malnutrition. Skin disease caused by infection. Kidney disease. This child looks fine on the outside but if left alone he might have died within a month! “What the vet said!”

    “Huh.”

    Even I who didn’t know much about cats could tell just from the photos so it was obvious that Somi’s health wasn’t that good.

    But the vet even admitted that he might die soon.

    “For now… it looks okay.”

    I pointed behind Seo Hwi-seong.

    Somi sitting on a cozy cushion and fussing looked much cleaner and fluffier than she looked in the photo and was full of life.

    “Because I took good care of it. “I spent a lot of money on treatment and did everything I could.”

    “You worked hard.”

    I reassured him.

    “I’ll say it again I’m not really the original owner’s representative. “Think of me as some kind of volunteer who wants to help resolve this situation.”

    “Well I understand that but….”

    Seo Hwi-seong scratched the back of his neck sheepishly.

    “Anyway I have no intention of sending this child back. “Leaving it in her hands is tantamount to abuse.”

    Seo Hwi-seong’s intention seemed very firm.

    “I’m just asking this to confirm but at the time of adoption you had no idea that the adopter was not the real owner right?”

    “yes. I had no idea. “I thought he was a bit strange because he smelled like alcohol.”

    ‘Hmm.’

    After meeting Seo Hwi-seong I felt like I could see a way to deal with this problem.

    “Mr. Seo Hwi-seong.”

    I asked him.

    “Can I just make a copy of the medical certificate you said you received at the animal hospital?”

    “That’s it… but what are you going to use it for?”

    “It will help ensure that Seo Hwi-seong can continue to care for this cat.”

    “Really? “Then you should give it to me right away!”

    Seo Hwi-seong willingly copied the medical certificate.

    ‘It’s been a month…’

    I got what I needed.

    It was time to go back.

    * * *

    The next day Tuesday. As soon as 5 p.m. the receiver in the Legal Clinic classroom rang without fail.

    The administrative office staff member confirmed this and relayed it to me and I who was studying in the study room rushed over and sat in front of the receiver.

    – how is it? Have you met those two?

    “yes. “I met him.”

    – So… what are the results?

    Suah Yoon’s voice was excited. It was as if he had no doubt that his will would be carried out.

    What answer should I give?

    Finally organize your thoughts.

    Legal Clinic’s motto is to provide the best legal help to clients.

    Whether the client is a good person or a bad person is not a consideration here.

    It goes to the core of what lawyers do.

    It is a lawyer’s job to stand on the side of the wronged person but it is also part of the job to help a person who has clearly done something wrong receive the least unfavorable ruling as possible.

    Justice and right and wrong are judged through strict procedures in the court.

    Selecting work based on arbitrary criteria was also an act that could not be called very just.

    The job of a legal professional is to help both sides in the court present their best arguments so that the judge can make the right decision by fully considering all the elements of the case.

    Therefore lawyers who defend felons or stand on the side of conglomerates and fight against consumers are not ‘money-blinded’ but instead practice their own professional ethics.

    In the end all of it is used as material for a more accurate ruling.

    In other words.

    All I have to do here is provide advice that will satisfy the client Suah Yoon in any sense.

    In the first place it was only natural that the satisfaction evaluation received from the client was recorded as performance.

    It was not my role to judge or try to coordinate beyond that. You can still get points without having to do that.

    but.

    – iced coffee. Can you hear me? Did the phone get disconnected?

    That’s not my way.

    “I can’t get it back.”

    – …yes?

    “They say you can’t get it back. “Because the person who adopted Somi did so with good intentions.”

    – What do you say?
