"Royal Lawyer" full of legal professionalism

Too tired to fall asleep at night and ended up delaying the final episode of "Silk". Watched the last episode early in the morning and concluded that this BBC remake of the legal miniseries is the best legal drama I've ever watched, bar none.

Compared with "Boston Legal", which is more entertaining than legal professionalism, this drama is more professional, pays more attention to litigation, and respects the law and the case itself. To complete the drama, Boston Legal could interpret the Boston Red Sox's win as a reason the law can forgive. The play is full of long-winded debates and speeches full of legal morality. Although it is wonderful, I feel that it is more about the art of debate and the ability of screenwriting to entertain the street. I will be disappointed when it looks good. Is this what I have been looking forward to for a long time? legal profession? Therefore, although "Boston Law" has been filmed for five seasons, I have only watched one full season. I am a little tired of the American drama's sense of humor, self-mockery, and self-proclaimed procrastination. I can't finish the second season.

"Royal Attorney" has only 6 episodes, and at first I thought it wasn't finished. After reading it, I realized that this is all, the BBC is always very strict, especially in the legal profession full of prestige and pride. Written by former barrister Pete Moffat, the series guarantees a professional standard and focuses on the best criminal defense in the legal profession. The protagonist Martha Costello can't wait to appear: reading the case files without sleep (often falling asleep at the work desk), even going to court with a large bag of case files, running on the road to court, and meeting with the client. . Then came what seemed overly detailed and tedious cross-examination. Watching Martha Costello's court interrogation always reminds me of the "Fighting the Sheepskin Scroll" I read in college. Before going to court, I read the case file patiently and carefully, identify the breakthrough points, and then design the basic route for the entire court interrogation, for the structure of the case. An incontrovertible fact (whether it is a fact or not) works hard, and through repeated, patient, and penny-pinching court inquiries, expose the flaws of the parties one by one, and then construct their own evidence loop, form a reasonable doubt, and prosecute Fang's indictment was overturned. In the first and second episodes, Martha Costello was full of guilt and self-blame for the victims of robbery and rape, and unilaterally listened to her client's innocence as the driving force for her defense. In order to complete her innocence defense, she will His own hypothetical facts were forced onto the victim's body. But there is no doubt that it is this aggressive, extremely confident roadmap design, this kind of delicate, annoying courtroom inquiries that ordinary people can't understand, that has made Martha Costello so successful.

Martha Costello, who defines her whole life as work, Martha Costello, who is strong herself and wants to raise her children independently, has no demands on the child's father, Martha Costello, who still insists on going to court and wins after her miscarriage, helps the criminal get out of the crime, but she is not right. The real victim, Martha Costello, who is full of guilt, and Martha Costello, who is a lawyer for the prosecution but helps the defense to reduce charges, Martha Costello, who has no time to take care of herself in her own case but is generous to her younger generation, is full of sunshine and full of righteousness. The love of law and the persistent pursuit. This is a truly kind, self-tortured, paranoid, and professional Martha Costello, a stubborn, tenacious, competitive, and dedicated professional woman, a barrister who stands at the pinnacle of criminal defense but often steps into the confusion of humanity.

There is no doubt that when the historical Lincoln lawyers and others drifted away, in the collision between the traditional sense of justice and the modern legal profession, the tenacious Martha Costello made me see the waves, the colorful bubbles, and the When it comes to a lawyer who is full of morality and is called "Joan of Arc", how to survive and how to choose. Are you not proud of your profession when asked during an interview with the Royal Solicitors? No (proud), Martha Costello said, it's work and I try to win. I was silent when I saw this passage, although I had expected her to answer this way. It would be too frivolous to talk about the so-called "procedural justice is the first justice" in the book at this time, and that the corruption of procedural justice and the achievement of substantive justice in individual cases is a detriment to the entire substantive justice. Because of the unremitting pursuit of procedural justice and the restraint of the professional spirit of the law, how many lawyers with a sense of justice have gained notoriety and made lawyers the object of criticism. . . It is enough that Martha Costello can complete self-realization and redemption in the confusion, needless to say.

As for the other lace in the play, the ambiguity between barristers and trainee lawyers, the gray areas of law firms, etc., are not my current interests, so I won't say much.
