Attorney Huang, the Li family's personal legal advisor, couldn't stand hearing it anymore and shook his head secretly. .
Common law system, also known as the Anglo-American legal system. In comparison, the legal system of China is more inclined to the 'civilian law system' (this does not refer to the mainland, but the name of a legal system). The characteristic of the civil law system is that it has written codes, especially the French Civil Code. , "Napoleonic Penal Code", "German Civil Code", etc. have a profound influence; the advantage is that there are more systematic laws, but the disadvantage is that the cycle of legal revision and re-enactment is too long. To put it more trendy, it is not enough to "advance with the times" No matter how detailed the written law is, there are bound to be areas that cannot be taken into account. This results in excessive discretionary power of judges and affects the establishment of the true rule of law.
The common law system is mainly based on precedents, supplemented by some separate regulations. In common law countries, legally effective precedents can guide and decide cases for judges or juries. As more and more precedents become available, the law becomes more and more perfect. This is also the origin of the name 'common law', which means that it is not established by the legislative body, but is a kind of law that is formed spontaneously with the accumulation of private precedents. Because these laws are created by the people, they are 'common law'. '.
Compared with the two, the common law system is more "**", so the rule of law in common law countries is usually relatively complete. At present, some countries with civil law systems, such as France and Germany, have begun to transform to the common law system. Respect precedents and public opinion, but China does not seem to have this awareness yet.
?????????????????????????????????????????????This means that common law is difficult to learn. The rule of law in Hong Kong does not have a long history. Judges and juries often quote British precedents, some of which are even two or three hundred years ago. Students majoring in common law have a lot of energy to spend on this. To put it bluntly, it is great to have a preliminary contact with these cases and understand three or four points in four years. After all, there are still a lot of single lines. I need to learn the regulations. Zhou Yi just opened his mouth and completed it in a week. It's no wonder that Li Chaoren and Barrister Huang regarded him as a monster.
"In the process of learning common law, there are a lot of cases to read and memorize, some of which are in ancient English. It takes a week"
Li Chaoren looked at his cousin-in-law who often performed miracles, and was really a little unsure. If someone else had said this, he would have laughed, but since it was Zhou Yi who said it, it was very possible.
"Let me give it a try" Zhou Yi smiled.
Li Chaoren hesitated for a moment and said: "This matter is a bit difficult to handle. Well, I can help you contact Sir Han, the president of Xiangjiang University, but are you really sure?"
"Cousin, please rest assured. Since I said this, I am more confident." Zhou Yixin said, in fact, I am 100% sure, but no one will believe it.
"Okay, I believe you." Li Chaoren smiled and nodded: "When Sir Han and I make an appointment, you and I can go visit him at home. I hope you can convince him to change the rules for you."
"It's necessary" Zhou Yi smiled.
Han Yueqing is a baron. Although his name sounds like a Chinese, he is actually a native Englishman. He has all the advantages and disadvantages of an Englishman: gentlemanly, introverted, alcoholic, prone to impulsiveness after watching football, and has a penchant for beautiful women. Love from the heart, but this love does not last long, it can only last for a month at most.
Among the aristocrats of the Commonwealth, he is considered a "mixed-blood mongrel" by some people. This is because he is one-half Chinese, one-quarter Latin and one-quarter Welsh. His bloodline makes him look a little weird, with black hair, blue eyes, and skin that is yellow with red, like yellow stool with blood.
Perhaps it was for this reason that he valued mixed-race children very much, but he had a bone marrow prejudice against people with pure blood. For example, Zhou Yi, a Chinese young man with pure blood, was disliked by him very much, and he was not even prepared to give him a favor. Zhou Yi took his seat and just asked his old friend Li Chaoren to take a seat.
Zhou Yi knew that for such an awesome person, you had to be even more awesome than him, so without waiting for him to say hello, he found a seat and sat down, then looked at Han Yueqing with a smile without saying a word.
His rude look made Han Yueqing frown his carefully groomed eyebrows: "Li Chaoren, is this the 'genius' young man you mentioned? I think he needs an etiquette class. "
"My Mr. Baron, it's not surprising that geniuses often have eccentric surnames." Li Chaoren laughed and said in a tone more acceptable to Han Yueqing: "He saved my mother's life, you know, My mother's illness was cured by him, even though many Chinese and foreign doctors could not cure it." Zhou Yi and Liu Xu did not invite relatives and friends to their wedding banquet in Xiangjiang, and Han Yueqing was not present, and Li Chaoren did not want to reveal his relationship with Zhou Yi. That often makes thingsIt's troublesome, especially for a person like Han Yueqing who thinks he is noble and has the ancient style of a scholar from the two Jin Dynasties.
"Haha, this doesn't mean anything. African witch doctors can also cure some strange diseases by accident, and then are said to be miracle doctors. Do we believe that they are all geniuses?"
Han Yueqing laughed disdainfully and glanced at Zhou Yi contemptuously: "Besides, even if he is a good doctor, it has nothing to do with studying law Li Chaoren, are you sure he will complete the LLB course in one week? Haha, what exactly is this? Did you say it wrong, or did I hear it wrong?"
Li Chaoren smiled and shook his head: "President Han, I know that Xiangjiang University has its own internal examination system, which is specifically for geniuses. You might as well test him." With Li Chaoren's accomplishments, instead of calling him Baron, he was called Principal. Sir, you are already slightly angry. This Han Yueqing went a bit too far. He mocked Zhou Yi to his face and disrespected him. Looking at Hong Kong Island, those who dare to disrespect him seem to have bad consequences.
"Well, maybe it's because I've seen too many so-called 'geniuses' recently that I feel a little disgusted with these 'geniuses'. Li Chaoren, I hope you don't mind."
Perhaps sensing Li Chaoren's displeasure, Han Yueqing quickly made amends. Although he is not afraid of Superman Li due to his status, he is not willing to offend this super rich man who is ranked within one hundred people in the world. Han Yueqing knew that Li Chaoren once had a nephew who was unfortunately hit and killed by a stray bullet from the political ax army in a small African country. In a rage, the old man directly spent hundreds of millions, organized more than 300 mercenaries, and forced Li Chaoru to kill him. The government of this small country was overthrown, and it also took control of the local gold mines. This generous move shocked Hong Kong Island at the time, and even the CIA was said to be looking at it with suspicion.
The rich old man couldn¡¯t afford to be hurt, so Han Yueqing was a little uneasy. He quickly got up and took out a thick English book from the bookshelf. He handed it to Zhou Yi and said, "Since it was Li Chaoren who said it, I will give you a test. This book written in Old English lists the events from 1920 to 2000. Criminal cases with representative surnames that have occurred across the UK. As a 'genius' who is preparing to take a break from LLB and boasts that he will complete the entire course in one week, you should have a certain understanding of Old English, right? I don't require you to Recite the cases in it, I only need you to understand three cases in this book within half an hour, and then I will ask you questions, okay?"
"No need, I'd better just memorize it." Zhou Yi took the book with a smile and started to look through it.
Of course he has never learned any ancient English, but with his strong mental strength, he can memorize every English letter in an instant. No matter what the content is, if you memorize it all, you can pass the test, right?
Watching Zhou Yi quickly flipping through this brick-thick book, Li Chaoren raised his eyebrows. After all, this is ancient English. Zhou Yi is also sure? Even if he is an expert in ancient English, he shouldn't read so quickly. Can he remember it just like this?
Han Yueqing sneered slightly, snapped his fingers leisurely and asked the butler to bring him and Li Chaoren two cups of fragrant coffee. While carefully savoring the aroma of coffee and the stimulation brought by caffeine, he carefully observed Zhou Yi, and soon he came to a conclusion: "This is a big talker, and his big talk actually deceived Li Chaoren, an old man in the world." ¡±
No one can read an Old English book like this, unless he is a person living in the 19th century, and he must be an aristocrat. You must know that even the farmers of that era did not understand pure Old English, because it was the language of the nobility. Common people are only qualified to learn some rural slang, which is just like ancient Chinese classical Chinese. Can you expect the common people in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods to understand this language? How could the scholar-bureaucrats be embarrassed?
Han Yueqing did not believe that Zhou Yi could recite the contents of this book alive by memorizing letters. He had never seen anyone with such memory, even the most legendary genius and the youngest in the Commonwealth. The Queen's Counsel doesn't have this ability either. He is now waiting for this big talker to make a fool of himself, which should be a very happy thing.
"I can memorize these letters. As for the pronunciation" Zhou Yi could certainly see the contempt in Han Yueqing's eyes, and he was ready to shock this arrogant knight. Fortunately, he was well prepared. Before coming here, Zhou Yi made a special trip to the Xiangjiang Institute of Ancient English and consulted several experts. With his wisdom, he only needed to master a few vowel letters, combined with forced memory, and pronunciation. Not a problem at all.
"Okay, Principal Lin, you can start the test." Zhou Yi smiled and handed the book back: "But time is short, I only memorized the content of the first hundred pages, you can test me within this range .¡±
"I've memorized a hundred pages of content!" Han Yueqing's hands shook, and the coffee almost splashed on his clothes. He felt salty in his mouth, but accidentally bit his tongue: "You won't just watch it casually. Once again??¡¯s questions are profound. "
"That's not true. I recited it completely, that is, I memorized every word." Zhou Yi smiled and shrugged his shoulders, which was very British.
"This is impossible!" Han Yueqing shook his hand, and the whole cup of coffee was not wasted at all, and it all splashed on his feet. This is a large 16-karat book, and the font is small. There are no less than 2,000 words on each page! How many words is one hundred pages? This young man has only watched it for less than half an hour. How dare he memorize it all? It's impossible, not even for experts in ancient English, because no one has such a terrifying memory.
"Haha, Sir Han, don't say it's impossible. You'll know after you take the test." Li Chaoren laughed happily. He could see that Zhou Yi shouldn't tell lies, and no fool would say such a thing. lies.
"The capable are indeed omnipotent. My Li family's cousin-in-law is indeed a superman!" Li Chaoren glanced at Han Yueqing, feeling very unhappy.
"Okay, I'm going to test you. On page 12, starting from the 36th line on the left, please recite it!" Han Yueqing didn't even bother to scrub his feet. The test is whether this young man is really a genius or a big talker. You will know after one test.
Zhou Yi felt relieved. He just relied on his memory to memorize. If Han Yueqing did not test rote memorization, but came to test the legal principles in these cases, he would really be blind. But if he tests the law like this, he will not be tested until tomorrow morning, buddy. I¡¯m not afraid either!
¡°¡¡¡¡.¡± (Sorry, I don¡¯t know Old English either)
Zhou Yi began to recite skillfully. Listening to his recitation, Han Yueqing's eyes widened, his face gradually turned pale, and his hands could not help but tremble slightly: "Stop! Page 98, starting from line 77 on the right ¡¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡±
"Crack!" The thick book slipped from Han Yueqing's hand and fell to the ground, but he didn't even notice it. Genius, this is a real genius!
Found a treasure!
