As a lawyer, why do you know the law and break the law?

In the public verdict of Nick Cheung, a female vice president worth tens of billions by the First Intermediate People's Court of Hainan Province, the former vice president of the Higher People's Court of Hainan Province was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of 18 years for accepting bribes, administrative bending of the law and fraud. The verdict is 150 pages long, involving 37 bribers, including 18 bribers' lawyers, which makes netizens wonder what happened to the lawyer industry in China. 18 among the bribery lawyers, only Zhang, the sleeping partner of Hainan Tanghai Law Firm, paid a bribe of 601.5 million yuan. What is the reason?

First of all, in this case, there are many bribers' lawyers, which can not help but make the public feel fear, and also make practitioners in all industries feel fear. Generally speaking, lawyers are an indispensable part in the process of building a society ruled by law. Only a large number of lawyers can meet the needs of lawyers in people's daily life in a society ruled by law. At the same time, lawyers, as legal practitioners, should be practitioners to safeguard legal fairness, and also the last guardian to help other non-professionals use legal tools rationally and safeguard their own rights and interests. In this case, lawyers who have high hopes have become the subject of bribery and the destroyer of trampling on legal justice, which is not only harmful to the society ruled by law, but also harmful to the public's belief in lawyers' professional ethics.

Secondly, in this case, we saw that Zhang of Hainan Tanghai Law Firm paid a bribe of 610.5 million yuan, which was huge. Generally speaking, in the current social life, although people's demand for lawyers is on the rise and their income is increasing, their income will not be exaggerated, and the 610.5 million bribe money does not mean that they can be taken out. Judging from the information published on the Internet, this fund was not a bribe, but the law firm used the convenience given by the court to ensure the victory of the lawsuit. The share of illegal income was only given to Nick Cheung, vice president of the hospital, which made both sides trample on the law and get a lot of illegal funds in a very short time. Even, it is precisely because of this bribery method that the law firm will be invincible in court, and then get high remuneration, thus having a lot of money to bribe the vice president of the court.

Finally, it is not difficult to see from this incident that in the process of maintaining legal fairness and building a society ruled by law, both courts and lawyers must stand erect and stand firm. Generally speaking, the court, as the last line of defense to safeguard justice, and the judge, as the trial judge of the case, have the power of judicial interpretation. To make good use of this power and safeguard judicial justice, it is necessary to do a good job in personal professional ethics education. For lawyers, as a highly educated group, they should be familiar with various legal provisions and help victims safeguard their rights and interests. They should have a heart of justice above the court, rather than being obedient to capital and bowing to their knees. Only in this way can a society ruled by law be built better and go further.
