Macaulay Andy has unparalleled control over the West Coast legal community, but for some reason, he never won the title of National Commissioner.

When he faced Ruthberg, he was inevitably a little short of breath, because the level of contact between the two parties and the ability to call resources were not on the same level at all.

This is also Ruthberg's confidence. Of course, Edward knew very well that even if she didn't have this title, she would still not retreat. She insisted on her beliefs and believed that the Constitution was the usual style of Yale Flower's work. The iron Ruthberg was not for nothing.

Edward couldn't help feeling proud when he heard the other party's hesitant tone in the receiver. Once upon a time, Macaulay Andy was almost inconvenient to him. Of course, the other party's power is still far greater than him, but today Edward is no longer a small lawyer without any say.

As long as you choose the right battlefield and issue, you can fight against these big names in a way that is thoughtful and unintentional way.

In the end, Macaulay Andy was led by Edward and had no choice but to agree to hold a debate.

Having said that, this is a very United States solution. In the distant western region, people habitually pulled out the m1873 single-action revolver when they had different opinions on the problem, and pulled out all six bullets in three seconds in one breath...

Now, it’s civilized, and there’s no need for everyone to beat them to death. It’s safer to talk to them.

Of course, Ferriche definitely disagrees with this view. Knife and pistol are definitely time-saving than the ones that spray each other in the classroom, unless both sides compare that fxxk uses more to win in the specified time...

...

In the conference room in San Francisco ACLU, Macaulay Andy and Edward each stood on both sides of the long table.

Macaulay Andy has a typical appearance of an old white man. She is over 60 years old, has sparse white hair, a pair of reading glasses on her nose, and her face is rosy, but wrinkles are beginning to spread. She is wearing a light blue shirt and an iron-gray suit vest, and she is holding a manuscript in her hand and is spitting everywhere. Why is this a contract case rather than a civil rights case?

Edward leaned on the chair without looking at him. If he hadn't been afraid of being too much, he would have wished Ge You would be paralyzed.

Compared to the professional appearance of Macaulay Andy, his outfit is a bit offensive today.

The original split ended in 307, but I went to the hairstylist early this morning and became an explosive head!

The hairstylist said that this symbolizes the enthusiasm and openness of the West Coast...

"be    sure      wear    some      flowers    in     your hair” Edward hummed the lyrics and complained to himself, “Don’t get too much of a flower, I’m just curly now… Alas, I always feel that I’m missing something, hey?! Why do I suddenly have the idea of ​​smoking and drinking!”

When he tried to enter the high-end office building where Alcu is located in San Francisco, he was naturally blocked by the doorman...

He was wearing a loose sweatshirt with even looser jeans, looking like a street boy who was mixed up with a gang, not an elite lawyer.

Seeing him constantly sucking clouds (in this era, smoking is absolutely impossible to drink alcohol), Macaulay Andy frowned a little. He knew very well that the other party was dressing up like this today, and said through his appearance, "I don't want to miss you at all, your bad rules are useless to me!"

It is a typical psychological tactic.

This set of things may not be of much use, but it subtly affects the psychological state of today's participants.

Someone is a time traveler and is extremely familiar with this set of things. The discipline system related to this plane is still in the primary construction stage, let alone the specific practical application.

In fact, every celebrity has his own experience of this, like Macaulay Andy, who dresses well, symbolizes the system of order and discipline, and he wears a different collar shirt-white shirt, but the collar is light blue.

This is a symbol of privilege, which means that the person can be free from the constraints of dress codes and allows him to show his personal style and preferences in all white shirts.

The color collar = authoritative, once one of the clothes rules that were popular in the United States, with its high specifications and levels even above the cufflinks.

I originally thought I could give Edward a warning, but the other party not only did not put on the trap, but instead responded with a full hippie dress.

Andy felt very uncomfortable and had a bad premonition in her heart.

As for other executive members...

Most people were laughing. Those who could sit in this conference room were all savages. They didn’t think about resisting the authority of Macaulay Andy, but they didn’t dare...

It doesn't mean they won't gloat.

Many people even gave Edward a thumbs up in their hearts: "Where did you come from the little bastard? It's so exciting!"

Macaulay Andy: "I reiterate that this is not a civil rights case, it is a complete contract case. It is completely fine for President Lehman to terminate Franklin's contract in accordance with the authority granted by the school committee, because Franklin's words and deeds seriously violated the professor's contract and related norms."

"So" Edward spitted out the smoke rings, stood up and asked lazily: "Which one of the contract does not allow him to enjoy the right to freedom of speech given to him by the First Amendment?"

Macaulay Andy mocked "Freedom to incite violence?"

"Don't have such power? You must know that the Constitution protects everyone, including those who want to overthrow her! This is also the greatness of the founding sages."

"Mr. Yang, everyone here is a legal expert, so please don't speak like this," Andy interrupted with a sneer.

This is an impolite act, and it is not allowed in normal debates. The host or judge will immediately stop.

However, this is in the territory of ACL in San Francisco, so the host naturally wants to pull the ball...

In fact, this guy is a close confidant of Macaulay Andy. If Andy didn't even have this little thought, it wouldn't be possible that he would still maintain such great control over Aclu after leaving office.

"Is that?" Edward rolled his eyes... He saw his explosive head... In his previous life, he never thought that he would have such a hairstyle one day. It was huge but light. As long as it was not a windy day, it was almost impossible to feel the explosion head. No wonder Chris liked this. It seemed that after the hairstyle became bigger, the deterrent power of people also increased a lot...

He quickly returned his eyes to the right position, stared at Macaulay Andy's eyes, and said word by word: "Mr. Andy, it is precisely because everyone here is an expert today that we have a thorough communication. The purpose of communication is not to compete for victory or defeat, but to clarify the actual problems. When I swore to become a lawyer, I was full of respect for the Constitution. In my eyes, the Constitution is sacred and irreversible. It is the product that mankind is closest to God..."

Macaulay interrupted again, "Mr. Yang, please don't lyricism. This is not the Shakespeare Society, nor are you and I the Poet Laurents. We are lawyers of the United States and citizens of the United States. The reason why we can sit here and discuss is certainly based on our belief in the Constitution, and also because we are all patriots, God. The word "what you say outside now will be thrown into a moor bottle, but I think everyone understands that without the unique system of the United States, we will not be able to get a decent life at the moment... Mr. Yang, do you think you can be so unscrupulous in Moscow?"

Edward glanced at the host, who rolled his eyes at him, and Edward smiled: "So, your approach is very Moscow, directly blocking my best, and trying to block Franklin's mouth, so that he would lose the opportunity to defend himself."

"I didn't gaggle"

"Then please don't interrupt me casually... I'm going to be sentenced to contempt of court in court," Edward said coldly, "I suggest we'd better change to an expert host, so that we can ensure a fair debate..."

“I don’t think it’s necessary”

"Okay, but I suggest it's better not to interrupt others' speech again. Let's continue to talk about this...First Amendment"

He rolled his eyes and began to recite, "Parliament shall not make laws on the following matters: establishing state religion or prohibiting freedom of religion; depriving freedom of speech or publication; or depriving people of the right to gather peacefully and petition the government for justice."

Macaulay Andy seemed very impatient: "Okay, Mr. Yang, everyone here recites the First Amendment much more than you, so please don't have to."

Edward: "So, then let this kind of infringement against the First Amendment happen? Joel, it is not good for everyone to not record this sentence."

After Edward was pointed out by Hefner and Ruthberg, his mind suddenly became flexible.

He has already made basic judgments and strategies for the Franklin case. I have to say that this guy is really a smart person. As long as someone can help break the paper, his two-life experience and his experience of dating with his grandfather Solomon and others over time will be useful immediately.

First of all, Principal Lehman and the entire school committee must have eliminated Franklin quickly, but the premise is that FBI and state law enforcement forces cannot be introduced. It is very likely that Principal Lehman does not care about these, but the school directors must object. There are many reasons for opposition. In short, fire prevention, theft prevention and government...

Under this premise, Franklin asked to establish a seven-member professor committee to discuss his contract issue "fairly and reasonably". President Lehman would agree almost 100%: First of all, this is a university practice, "professor management" is a tradition of private universities. There are major matters involving faculty and staff, and the final decision must be made by various professor committees; secondly, Stanford must have people who sympathize with Franklin, but a minority among the few; so, the professor committee is just a formality - Franklin was expelled from the deadline.

From this point of view, the professors' committee (not yet established) has the same position as Principal Lehman and the school committee. The principal holds financial power, and with Lehman's wide influence on the West Coast, it is almost certain that Stanford will spend a lot of money to equip the school with a super luxurious lawyer lineup, trying to "get an iron case" - at least in law, it must be perfect, because Franklin will definitely not give up after being fired, and he will keep filing lawsuits.

So at the beginning, you must be able to make people unable to grasp the handle.

This is very annoying to Edward.

The lawsuit he had handled before was successful, although his legal literacy and various small means were effective, but he had to admit that the opponents he faced were not too strong. Solomon was very powerful, but in the Sheldon case, he made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, and was caught by Edward and completely turned the tables.

In the Deep Throat case, Larry Parry is a religious maniac who has weak legal literacy. If he can't even become an assistant to a prosecutor in New York, he will naturally be no match for someone.

But the case of Franklin is very troublesome.

This time, the Stanford school will definitely organize a huge team of lawyers, including the most famous labor contract lawyers and constitutional lawyers on the West Coast.

Each of them is a giant-level existence.

Maybe a little worse than Ruth Berg and Robert Burkeby, but they are also figures who can be called up to serve as federal Circuit judges or federal prosecutors and senior White House counsel at any time.

One or two, Edward will feel a headache, but it’s not that he can’t get a shot.

Now there are a bunch of...

Don’t ask, you can’t even have a 1% chance of winning.

What's more, this is California, the territory of the Republican Party that "concerns order". The media and folk customs are relatively conservative, and it is also the home court of Stanford and Lehman. Edward's best skills in inciting the media will be good if he can play two or three levels here.

In addition, Ruth Berg and Robert Burke, his two major backers in the legal world, one in New Haven and the other in Washington, it is okay to borrow their reputation, but when the debate is in court, it depends on their respective skills.

Edward thought he could not beat the group of old turtles.

But such a good opportunity cannot be missed...

The Jewish blood is boiling...

After thinking about it, I still put my ideas on the San Francisco Aclu.

As the largest civil rights organization in California and even the country, ACL can compete with Principal Lehman in all aspects.

Secondly, although Macaulay Andy firmly opposed it, the subtlety of this matter is that the other members did not make too many sounds. Of course, some people followed Andy's butt to make a fuss, but that was very rare, and most people remained silent.

This is an attitude statement in itself.

On the one hand, when entering aclu is a recognition of one's own abilities, it is also a kind of gilding. On the other hand, it is also a kind of gilding. On the aclu platform, the more you contribute, the higher the reputation you get, and those executive members are all human beings and have their own little abacus.

Principal Lehman and Macaulay Andy are certainly covering the sky with one hand, but if they can gain enough reputation and successfully advance to the National Committee with the help of this case, it will be worth it.

What's more, in this process, he may be noticed by some big shots and taken over to his subordinates.

No matter how bad it is, after the case is over, pack up the bedding and go to the East Coast to have fun...

The executive committee members and even the current chairman are all human beings and must consider themselves.

Edward's greatest ability is to pull the flag and become a tiger skin. As long as the aclu is behind him, there is no need to worry about being slapped to death by Stanford's huge lawyer team and being able to stand in front of the other side.

You can fight back and forth with the other party for several rounds.

As for victory or defeat?

To be honest, it's not that important...

If Franklin is a person who loves someone, he just needs to enjoy the process.

As for the result... he could have predicted it somewhat.

If Stanford's lawyer team can really overturn Stanford's lawyers, Edward will consider running for the House of Representatives next! Because this means that the evolution of things has been deviated from the basic logic!

What we have to do now is to refute Macaulay Andy's fallacy and convince other executive members of San Francisco ACL. This is of course difficult, just like Li Yunlong's rush to the Sakata United, which is extremely difficult, but if you bite the bullet and try your best, it is still possible to achieve your goal. After this wave, you will be relaxed.

And the words of confronting Principal Leman's huge lawyer team are roughly equivalent to Li Yunlong's bombardment of Tokyo City - this is a scene of a fantasy story...
