How should lawyers treat court transcripts? I've always been cautious about court transcripts. Every time I face the page printed by the clerk, I always read it again and change it if I can. However, the day before yesterday, at a trial in Baoshan Court, I was shocked by a sentence read by a lawyer representing the defendant in his sixties. He said, I never read the trial transcript, so what should I change? This is not disrespect for the judge! I was speechless for a moment. For lawyers, whether the trial transcripts should be carefully checked should never be a problem. Personally, I don't think a lawyer who doesn't carefully check the trial transcript is a good lawyer. The reasons are as follows: 1. The trial transcript is the most direct basis for the court to finalize the case, and most of its contents will become the main text of future judgments. Paying attention to the trial transcript means paying attention to the judgment; 2. The lawyer's expression level and speech speed are different, and the clerk's recording and understanding level are also different. Careful examination of the court transcript can correct the fallacies caused by the defects of self-expression and the deviation of the clerk's understanding of the record, which is often the key issue directly related to the success or failure of the case; 3. Under the current circumstances, there are many cases, so it is generally impossible for judges to carefully examine many materials submitted by attorneys (such as attorney's opinions and case reports, etc.). In many cases, court transcripts are almost the only channel for our lawyers to express their opinions. Of course, I attended the trial in Jiangning District Court in Nanjing two months ago. Both the court and the original dock have computer monitors, which are synchronized with the clerk. Therefore, you can carefully revise the clerk's records. In this way, after the case is over, you can simply look at it and sign the court record directly. In other courts that have not yet done so, personally, lawyers should still attach great importance to the trial transcript. I really don't know how Baoshan, an old lawyer who is over sixty, said that sentence, and I don't know how he educated his disciples. As everyone knows, it is precisely the performance of high respect for the law, not the contempt for judges as it is said.
