S01E01 At the beginning of the story, Diane Lockhart, played by Christine Baranski, was sitting in front of the TV, watching US President Trump's inaugural speech in shock. Diane, a supporter of the Democratic Party, was so angry that she immediately turned off the TV, and she was hilarious about the election result. The response is - yes! retreat! stop! ▼
In fact, the screenwriter Kings and his wife were based on the script written by Hillary Clinton's successful campaign. Who knew that Trump would become president, so they rushed to rewrite the Diane part on the eighth day of filming. Immediately afterwards, Maia Rindell, another heroine played by Rose Leslie, appeared, a young lawyer, to take the Illinois Bar Examination ▼
Bar Examination: It is the judicial examination in the United States. Each state in the United States has a relatively independent judicial unit. The bar exam, entry requirements and passing standards are also relatively independent. Only after passing this exam can you get a license to be a lawyer. The laws vary from state to state in the United States. In the past, attorney licenses were also not interchangeable across states, meaning that if you were licensed in a state, you could usually only practice in that state. A separate application is required for cross-state practice, and it generally takes many years of practice experience before you can apply for an exam-exempt practice in other states. Appearance in federal court is also subject to separate approval from that court. In recent years, the unified national bar exam has been gradually accepted by more and more states. At present, 26 states and the capital Washington, D.C. have recognized the unified bar exam. This means that after passing the test in one state, if the score also meets the scoreline of any other state on the Uniform Bar Exam, you can apply for admission to practice in other states with that score. "Bar" is an ambiguous word, usually referring to a bar or a rod. In the legal world, Bar means the thigh-high railing in the courtroom that separates the bench from lawyers and clients. Later, Diane announced at the company meeting that he was going to retire. Here is the name partner (Name Partner) ▼
American law firms are generally in the form of limited liability partnerships. There are many different levels of partners. Later, we will discuss the differences between different partners. Name Partner: The title partner is an honor. The names are basically Founding Partners, that is, the founding partners, and the names of non-founding partners who have made outstanding contributions are rarely added. Many large law firms have merged many times, and each time they have to add the names of several different firms together, which leads to longer and longer, that is, there are eight named partners in the play. Look at the long list of names on the wall~~▼
David begins to assign jobs to new lawyers▼
Depo, also known as Deposition, refers to the deposition and testimony of the plaintiff, the defendant or witnesses through questioning before the trial of civil or criminal proceedings. This process is usually carried out in the lawyer's office. The questioner answers the questions, and the court reporter, camera or audio recorder are all present to record the testimony. Before the deposition process begins, witnesses are generally sworn in, and court reporters and witnesses often sign an affidavit to ensure that the text of the testimony produced by the deposition process is consistent with the actual situation. Then, the lawyers of both the plaintiff and the defendant began to make a Deposition on the case of this episode▼
Maia's father was arrested on suspicion of financial fraud. After being reminded by the prosecutor's girlfriend Amy (yes! Maia is Lesbian), Maia asked her father's lawyer Attorney-Client Privilege▼
Attorney-Client Privilege: Attorney-client privilege refers to the privilege that a client has the ability to refuse to disclose or prevent others from disclosing the content of confidential communications for the purpose of providing legal services to the client. A little round? it's actually really easy! In a general sense, a basic principle of the law of evidence is that everyone has the responsibility and obligation to be a witness and tell the court what they know about the case. But with this privilege of confidentiality, the content of the conversation between the lawyer and the client is protected and kept confidential. Even if the client admits to the lawyer, "Yes, this crime was committed by me," the lawyer cannot testify in court. He personally admitted to me that he committed this crime", because only in this way can the client explain the truth to the lawyer without reservation, and the lawyer can go all out to fight the lawsuit for the client. Maia was implicated by her father and was verbally attacked by debt collectors. Although Lucca Quinn, played by Cush Jumbo, was a lawyer from the opposing camp, she stood up at this time, drove that person away, and went to comfort the crying Maia▼
The friend Lucca is referring to here should be the heroine Alicia in the mother drama TGW. She was implicated in the scandal of her politician’s husband calling prostitutes, and her life fell into hell in an instant. Pressured to earn money to support the family, in seven years, she has grown from a housewife with no sense of existence to an independent and confident professional woman. Lucca boiled a pot of chicken soup here and encouraged Maia to work hard, just like Alicia back then...▼
Diane signed a retirement agreement and was kicked out of the law firm, and her assets were frozen because of a financial fraud case. When she was desperate, Adrian, the lawyer head of the opposite camp of the case, found her and wanted to dig her out. Here is Diversity Hire▼
During the collection of evidence in the previous case, we saw Adrian's law firm, all of which are African-Americans! ▼
Diversity Hire: Diversity Hire. Although every company in the United States has its own corporate culture, such as this law firm, it is mainly African-American lawyers. However, in the American environment, both the government and the public hope that employees in the company can have different skin colors, balance the proportions, and achieve diversified employment. If companies don't do this well, they risk facing scrutiny related to diversity issues. But what we usually understand as Diversity Hire mainly refers to companies with a majority of whites that employ a certain percentage of people of color, so here Adrian said that Diane is here to solve the problem of diversity employment, which is just a joke. The title of the first episode is Inauguration, which has two meanings: 1. Inauguration; 2. The beginning and the opening are not difficult to see. The title of Inauguration refers not only to the inaugural speech of the new US President Trump at the beginning of this episode, but also to the inauguration speech. Announcing the opening of a wonderful legal drama! The second episode guide poke here The third episode slams here
