What's wrong with this lawyer?!

But revising a judgment requires courage, especially in such a controversial case.

So, it's better to mediate if possible, try to mediate wherever you can... Like in real life, that case where mediation happened six times, each time lasting at least several hours.

That's because the first trial court dug a hole, and the second trial court saw it wasn't easy to handle, so they considered mediation.

Otherwise, anyone who's been in a lawsuit knows, when have you seen a second trial judge so eager for mediation... It's because it's really hard to judge!

If it could be upheld, there would be no hesitation; it would just be upheld.

Especially in the reasoning part, this is where a judge's capability shines the most. A good judgment looks impressive, accurately summarizing the dispute, logically tight, with precise legal application.

And some judgments, even an outsider can see, are feebly reasoned: the opposition provides full reasoning, but then it's dismissed just by saying "irrelevant to this case" or "lacking legal basis."

That's why, if not careful, you'll end up like a certain Judge Wang.

In such situations, you would surely prefer to mediate if it's possible.

It's just that criminal cases truly can't be mediated, otherwise you would see how many tricky moves judges would make.

Judge Song had no other choice, he really wanted to mediate.

Old Tang and Su Yeping entered the mediation room, and Judge Song immediately smiled and said, "This must be Lawyer Tang, I've heard so much about you. Lawyer Tang is a model in our Handong legal community."

Look at that, just met and already a barrage of compliments. Judge Song really had it tough...

Old Tang smiled and said, "Judge Song, you're too kind. Ultimately, it still falls on the court to resolve disputes, so I think the judges are the real models in the legal community."

That said... Judge Song could only smile and say, "Please, have a seat. The people from City Development Company will arrive soon."

Old Tang's meaning was simple too: no need for empty talk, no matter how much is said, it still comes down to the judge's decision, so just do what needs to be done.

After waiting a while longer, the people from City Development Company arrived, two men and one woman, one of the men slightly older, surnamed Liu, and the other two were young.

Seeing this, Judge Song suddenly felt a headache; it seemed like City Development Company wasn't really interested in mediation, as they didn't even send a leader!

Was it because they thought Tang Fangjing was not worthy?

No, this person had already caused such a big issue, yet they still didn't take it seriously?

But now he couldn't say anything, and could only begin, "Everyone's here, so let's get started."

"Lawyer Tang, Mr. Su, why don't you go ahead and share your thoughts first."

Old Tang closed his eyes for a moment, while Su Yeping beside him spoke up, "Our demand is what's in the lawsuit, just give me the money."

Upon hearing this, Judge Song turned to the City Development Company's side: "Director Liu, what are your thoughts?"

Director Liu immediately said, "Judge Song, before we came, the leadership already instructed us. First, a portion of the money can be given, but not all of it."

"Secondly, the mediation agreement needs to include confidentiality on the case information, and no one can disclose the case situation to the outside, to avoid damaging the company's reputation..."

The first request was fine, but when the second request was made, Judge Song immediately felt his vision go dark and his chest tighten!

No, where did you get the courage to make this request? This is clearly targeting Tang Fangjing!

Everyone knows he never accepts confidentiality clauses!

Why do some people always think they're special, what's going on with that boss, Mr. Gao?

Seeing Old Tang slowly opening his eyes, Judge Song quickly said, "Director Liu, is this really what your leadership said? Even Lawyer Tang's video is not allowed?"

Director Liu glanced at Old Tang and then said, "Judge Song, Lawyer Tang, it really isn't allowed."

"The overall environment is not good now, and if it triggers public opinion, it will not be good for our company, so the leadership considered this point..."

Old Tang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Judge Song once again intervened first.

"Not good impact, what impact? Lawyer Tang's videos are very objective, without a trace of personal emotion. What do you mean by this?"

"Huh? Do you think Lawyer Tang would defame you? If there's nothing wrong with your actions, what is there to worry about?"

Upon hearing this, Old Tang was immediately stunned, truly bewildered.

This... Judge Song, why does it feel like he's acting as his mouthpiece?
