At noon that day, veteran Shen Ruiming of the Ministry of Justice arrived in Guangzhou.
As a member of the Law Society, he came to Guangzhou to strengthen work in the judicial field in Guangzhou. Originally, there was only one elder Liang Xinhu in the judicial circles in Guangzhou City. He was too busy to keep busy, and his work was unsatisfactory - after all, the judicial office itself had few decent naturalized workers, so no matter how capable Mr. Liang was, Can't be cast.
Originally, there was a lot of legal work in the city. After the witchcraft case was solved, according to Liu Xiang's idea, public trials and public judgments were required as a key case for "legal popularization" education; together with the "New Life Movement" and "Customer Industry Rectification" ", "Social Security Strengthening Movement", "New Industrial and Commercial Order" and "Clearing Land Taxes" and a series of social and economic reform movements - these all require a large amount of judicial work to serve them. As a result, Liang Xinhu couldn't resist anymore. As soon as he and Ma Jia complained in the telegram, Shen Ruiming was transferred.
Before D-Day, Shen Ruiming was just a young lawyer who had just graduated from college, and his life was ordinary. When I accidentally learned about the wormhole, my crude heart of building a harem was immediately activated. I quit my job and went south to join the light. After D-Day, almost everyone in the Law Society was in a bad situation. Shen Yuanlao could only live in the Law Society - his law degree was obtained from a certain maritime university. If he hadn't passed the judicial examination and got a lawyer's license, he would have almost become brothers with An Xi.
Shen Yuanlao, like most colleagues in the legal field, works as a "basic labor force" on "secondment" everywhere, while working in the Law Society and participating in the compilation of various laws. As the territory of the ruling area becomes larger and larger, there are more and more judicial practice activities, and the demand for legal talents is also increasing. After the establishment of the arbitral tribunal, members of the Law Society were able to get rid of their "part-time" jobs and were enriched to work in various circuit courts.
The Senate advocates "ruling the country according to law", but there are not many people with modern legal knowledge. When the territory is small, it does not feel that it is very lacking. Once the ruling area expands, it immediately becomes stretched.
According to the principle of separation of justice and administration, local administrative heads are not involved in judicial practice. However, the territory is getting bigger day by day, and there are not many veterans of the Law School. As for the naturalized civilian cadres, because the Law School has limited manpower allocation. It is at the lowest level and has not trained many people.
As a result, the veteran legal scholar who had always been regarded as a "waste" became a hot commodity. In order to meet the needs of various places, the Law Society developed a circuit court system, which divided each administrative area under the jurisdiction of the Senate into multiple circuit court jurisdictions based on population, and regularly heard cases on circuit circuits.
Except for the inseparable Ma Jia who is stationed in Lingao for a long time, other members of the Law Society take turns traveling on business trips. Others spend two-thirds of the year scattered in various places, including Taiwan, Jeju, Vietnam, and recently Guangdong. There is no need to go to places in Jiangnan and Shandong that have not yet established complete political power. It is not a wise move to steal the other party's business when there is a local government.
When Shen Ruiming received the notice to go to Guangzhou, he was getting off the ferry back to Lingao from Jeju Island - he had just completed a three-month circuit court trial in Kaohsiung-Jeju.
Although receiving this notification was a bit sudden, I didn't feel too surprised. Once the mainland strategy begins, the focus of the Ministry of Justice will naturally shift to the mainland.
Now that he had received the notice, Shen Ruiming got off the ship without even returning home. He went directly to the Ministry of Justice and found the vest.
"Thank you for your hard work. But the next task will only be more difficult." The vest got straight to the point, "Did you get the notice?"
"I got it." Shen Ruiming nodded, "If you don't have any specific instructions, I will leave tomorrow."
"Don't be anxious." Ma Jia said, "Guangzhou has a lot of work piled up. It doesn't matter if you leave one day early or one day late. We have to straighten things out first."
Shen Ruiming understood what Ma Jia meant by "straightening things out". Strictly speaking, the legal institution of the Senate has always been an "office agency", adhering to the principle of "treating a headache and treating a sore foot". The legal system used is not only imperfect, but can even be said to be quite chaotic. Of course, this is not a problem of the Law Society, but the reality has to be like this.
Shen Ruiming thought for a while and said: "The structure of the arbitral tribunal is too small, and the name is not justified. In the past, there were no conditions and we had to make do with the shabby. Now that Guangdong is in hand, the territory has more than doubled, and the manpower is even better. Again. It seems unjustifiable to maintain the old system of expediency." He added, "That's what my colleagues in the meeting said."
"Because everyone has this idea, our Law Society is going to hold an enlarged meeting, formally come up with a charter, and discuss our future system and policies." Ma Jia saw the joy in Shen Ruiming's eyes and thought to the young man Still unable to calm down: "Secretary of State Ma's opinion is that we should establish a complete legal system. Of course, whether it is the Chinese style, the German style, the British style or the American style, we have to propose a bill and go through the procedures. Decision." He looked at Shen Ruiming, who had his eyes widened with satisfaction, "You go back and study it, we will have a meeting the day after tomorrow."
The enlarged meeting of the Law Society was unusually popular. Not only the members of the arbitral tribunal were present, but also the members of the Law Society. Anyway, as long as there was some legal background, all kinds of ghosts and monsters came out one after another, all wanting to have a place in the future system.
"Ahem, everyone, let's talk and express whatever ideas you have." Ma Jia saw that there were more people than expected, and he couldn't help but smile slightly. It seems that the elders still attach great importance to the top-level design of law. The field of law has great potential in the future!
The atmosphere was bad and he was the first to speak. Seeing that there was still no response from everyone, he continued: "Although the system has been reformed now, the arbitration tribunal is equivalent to the combination of the Supreme Court and the Supreme Procuratorate, but how to do it specifically has not been sorted out yet. Enforcement... Several members of the cabinet also want to hear everyone's views." Although the executive committee was dissolved after the plenary meeting and the cabinet system was changed, the members of the original executive committee still have huge energy at the legislative level, and their one vote can drive many votes. It is said that with the support of the original executive committee members, the passage of the bill is a sure thing, so even though the executive committee is no longer there, except for the general meeting, everyone still calls it this way.
An Xi, as Ma Jia's confidant, was the first to speak: "The so-called law reflects the interests of the ruling class. In this time and space, it should reflect that the Senate is the interests of the majority of senators." The senators at the meeting showed expressions that this was not nonsense. Seeing that no one answered, An Xi had no choice but to continue: "When it comes to maintaining rule, there is nothing better than the Anglo-American legal system."
"The advantages of the Anglo-American legal system are obvious. It is flexible in application methods, combines common law and equity, and is not rigidly rigid in form. Of course, the American style is better than the British style. It has more statutory laws and is relatively in line with our legal habits. More importantly The most important thing is that the highest official has the right to interpret the law..."
"Ahem, the American system is indeed unique..." Ma Jia interrupted him before he could finish speaking. Before the shelf was set up, he wanted to extend his hand to the right of explanation. Aren't you afraid of breaking the point? Besides, the people present There are also elders who are not members of the association, and their influence is obvious.
The second person to speak was Xu Xu: "It is true that one of the great advantages of the Anglo-American legal system is that it has a high entry barrier and requires a lot of practice and knowledge reserves. You don't have to think about it. Those who will monopolize this industry in the future will definitely be the descendants of the veterans, and those who have no The descendants who inherit the seats can enter the industry in large numbers, which is also a kind of guarantee, but -" he paused, "but the high entry threshold is more likely to bring about the tendency of big capital to influence and control the judiciary. Rich people hire good lawyers. It’s easy to get away with it. The country in the future will definitely be a large multi-ethnic empire with a huge gap in economic levels. If people think that the judiciary is biased towards the rich, it’s okay, but if it causes other conflicts, it will cause endless harm.”
Shen Ruiming then spoke: "The descendants of the elders have entered the judicial field one by one, and together with the members of the family who have elder seats, are these the legal sects of the new era? By then, when everyone is trying to gain political power, our rule of law will not be maintained. ?" The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and An Xi failed to say what he wanted to say, "Then it would be better to legislate to ban descendants of senators from entering the judicial field."
In the end, Ma Jia made the decision: "The elite and clannish nature of the Anglo-American legal system is indeed a big problem, and applying it mechanically will definitely not work. Taking a step back, where can we find so many experienced judges in this time and space? Comrades, ten We are going to take care of the whole of China within this year, how many dishes can we produce on such a big plate by then?”
Ma Jia's words have completely killed the Anglo-American legal system. When it comes to the civil legal system, it is a more realistic choice to continue the old time and space system. At present, the legal system of the Senate is still relatively chaotic. The president of the arbitral tribunal is appointed by the chairman of the Senate. The arbitral tribunal is both the Supreme Court and the Supreme Prosecutor. At this time, there is no trace of the procuratorate of the Senate, but it is just a subsidiary of the arbitral tribunal. Just an office. In the past, when the Senate ruled only in Lingao, there were naturally not so many cases that required the establishment of a special procuratorate. One inspection office was enough. In the process of successively occupying many places, military trials were mainly used. Naturally, the Senate had no intention of caring about the judicial rights of the "enemy". A few naturalized civilian cadres were sentenced according to the charges given by the chief. After Guangdong, which has a population of several million, became the territory of the Song Dynasty, the number of cases increased exponentially. Naturally, it was impossible for the prosecutor's office to handle so many cases. Moreover, there were also prefectures and counties in Hainan except Lingao that needed to be dealt with. Therefore, the current prosecution of cases is the same as in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the national police under the management of Mu Min mainly performing duties.
