As a law graduate, although my career is not the direction of law, I still have feelings for the law. I once saw "Full Secret" on a recommendation book and official WeChat account, and started without hesitation, but I never read it because of time.
In May, I intermittently read this novel written by Canada's first female chief justice in my spare time. She holds the highest position in the Canadian legal profession and has made great achievements in the legal field. She has learned a lot of legal documents from her legal practice experience, and can be called a grandmaster.
The Big Secret tells the story of the legal contest between a female lawyer and a prosecutor, and the friction between legal justice and human justice. As a law lover, I applaud the last chapter of this book for highlighting human justice. This is also the best example for legal professionals to break away from legal justice and embrace human justice, and it is also a breakthrough in the concept of justice. I think through this book, the last chapter is a sublimation of the author's legal views and thoughts, which deserves respect and happiness.
In the structure of the novel, the conception is also very clever.
At the beginning of this article, the relationship between the hostess Trutt and the customer Chusadi is not directly called the parental relationship. From beginning to end, all kinds of introduction and foreshadowing make readers wonder why the client chose the hostess as the defense lawyer and fully believed in her talent. The hostess was puzzled all the way, getting deeper and deeper, until she dug up the hidden feelings behind the case and told the mystery of her life. She did not understand all the way, solved all the way, and successfully solved the mystery of her life.
Before the decryption, the woman's father, that is, the client, has always been considered a playboy, and he doesn't care about life. But with the decryption, he gradually showed the world a warm man who dared to love and hate her husband. Although he had an absurd life and an eclectic life in the past, it did not affect the shaping of this image at all. From the change of task characteristics, he also showed his intelligence and charm, and never despised the client.
Another main line is the legal trial line. The hostess and the teacher have made mutual efforts for the battle of fame. We can't say that the teachers' contest is a masterpiece to gain fame through actions. As a believer above the law, Sai has his own legal opinions and pursuits, and he has an infinite desire for justice. We should also respect him. His understanding is iron plate justice, too cold. However, the hostess has a gentler understanding of legal justice. While pursuing legal justice, she did not lose human justice. This is one of the very good main lines. Through the contest between the two on this main line, the author's attitude and understanding of justice are more clearly displayed.
In addition to the plot and characterization, this book also involves a large number of legal and ethical issues, racial issues, gender issues, emotional and legal issues, involving a very wide range of dimensions, with unlimited tension and thinking power, which fully reflects the author's deep foundation and thinking in the fields of law, legal philosophy and legal ethics, and also shows readers a literary masterpiece with flesh and blood and feelings.
Finally, I still recommend this book. At first, it was not attractive. Some common problems in Chinese and foreign translation, such as language expression and fluency of cohesion between languages, may be that there will be differences between Chinese and Canadian cultures. For a legal novel, this book is valuable and worth reading carefully. No matter legal person or non-legal person, they will have their own unique feelings and experiences after reading it.
