Western justice is seriously unfair. Money has a good lawyer, but no money has no lawyer. Where is judicial justice?

As another friend answered this question, there is a big gap between lawyers in China.

The poor can't afford high prices, and many of the aid lawyers hired are of low level, and they don't even have the intention to win the lawsuit, just going through the motions.

Take the Hugue Gilles pattern as an example. Sasha has read a lot about this case.

Miraculously, the lawyer Hu Jia hired in 1996 spent 1500 yuan, and the level was very poor, or she was not prepared to win the lawsuit at all.

In fact, a casual look at the file shows that this case is just a confession without any direct evidence, and there are many doubts.

Obviously, you should plead not guilty at this time, but this lawyer's defense is quite funny.

At first, he pleaded not guilty, but at the end of the trial, it became a confession. Saying that my son is young, a first-time offender and a minor, please ask the court for leniency? .

This kind of excuse, in the case of heavy punishment in that year, is tantamount to no excuse. Because lawyers also agree with the facts, according to strike hard, they will be severely punished. At that time, let alone rape and murder, even hooliganism (indecent assault or attempted rape) could be shot.

It can be said that this kind of defense is equivalent to sending the call to the gate of hell.

Interestingly, Hu Jia probably felt that this lawyer was absent-minded before the trial, and spent 500 yuan asking another lawyer to defend him.

Maybe it's too little money: the opposing lawyer didn't say a word? .

So it is meaningless to blame western lawyers blindly. In the west or the east, lawyers are just a profession, making money to make a living, not doing charity.

But at least the requirements for lawyers in the West are very strict. For example, a lawyer's license in the United States needs to go through the United States? Bar exam? .

But not everyone can take this exam: the American bar exam requires LL. M and J.D. graduated from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association, and are eligible to take the bar exam in the corresponding states of the United States (because of the different laws in each state, there are relatively independent bar exams in each state of the United States). However, only students who have completed four years of undergraduate study can enter law school and get a master's degree in law. M or j.d., and then you are eligible to take the American bar exam. It is equivalent to obtaining a master's degree in law and studying for at least 6 years.

First of all, I want to correct your wrong statement. Western justice is seriously unfair. Where did you come to this conclusion?

First, judicial justice has nothing to do with whether you have the money to hire a lawyer.

Whether the judiciary is fair or not is closely related to whether the judiciary is independent. Take the United States as an example As an independent level under the system of separation of powers, judges in American courts have supreme power under the constitutional and legal framework. The case of Marbury v Madison in the early days of the founding of the United States established the unconstitutional review power of the ordinary courts in the United States. What is this concept? Orders issued by the U.S. government and bills enacted by Congress or local councils can be reviewed by the ordinary courts of the United States for violation of the Constitution. If they violate the constitution, the court may not apply these bills when deciding the case. There are also cases in which the Supreme Court actually acquitted the crime of causing trouble in the case of burning the national flag in the United States, and the Supreme Court's judgment in the case of Bush v. Gore's presidential election. From these cases, we can see that the high judicial independence of American courts can ensure that the judges of American courts can make relatively fair judgments. And these have nothing to do with whether you have the money to hire a lawyer. After all, in America, you can apply for legal aid if you can't afford a lawyer.

Second, in China, if you can't afford a lawyer, you can apply for legal aid.

At present, in general civil cases in China, if your family really has difficulties and meets the conditions of local legal aid, you can apply for legal aid from the local judicial bureau. Once you apply, you don't have to pay legal fees. For criminal cases, if the family has difficulties, they can also apply for legal aid. For legal aid lawyers, you should trust their professional ability and the government's assignment. I can assure you that most of them will handle cases more carefully than many so-called barristers in the market.

Third, lawyers are human beings and have to support their families. Is it wrong to let others do things for you?

Don't be so firm about the lawyer's fee. Lawyers are human beings, and they also face great survival pressure to support their families. After all, if they have no income, they will starve to death because no one will pay the lawyer. Therefore, it is appropriate to respect the work of lawyers. Besides, shouldn't you hire people to do things and spend money?

In short, judicial justice has nothing to do with whether you have the money to hire a lawyer, which involves the judicial system. As for you who can't afford a lawyer, you can apply for legal aid, and now legal aid lawyers are also very dedicated.
