At 5:10 p.m., the 17th floor of the Shinjuku District Court Office Building.

In the bright bathroom, as the automatic sensor under the faucet lit up slightly, water continued to flow out. After washing his face, Judge Eda wiped his face with a tissue to wash away the fatigue of today's court session. Today's

To be fair, the legal issues in cases subject to simplified court procedures are even more controversial and complex than in many cases tried under ordinary procedures.

Today is the last case that I will hear at the Shinjuku District Court.

He has received a transfer order and is preparing to be promoted from the Shinjuku District District Court to a judge of the Tokyo High Court. Judging from his age, he is extremely young in the Tokyo High Court. Facing the day when he is about to start working in the High Court, Eda

On the one hand, the judge is a little nervous, but on the other hand, he is also somewhat looking forward to it. What he looks forward to is that he will face more complex and difficult cases on the stage of the High Tribunal, but what he is nervous about is whether he is qualified for this job.

In fact, I have caused controversy in the court.

After graduating with a Ph.D., he became famous because of the several judicial research reports he wrote, which attracted the attention of the High Court and the Supreme Court. However, on the other hand, some people criticized him. He wrote good reports but not good judgments in handling cases. He was too theoretical.

ization, without taking into account the actual role of resolving conflicts and disputes.

In the face of these controversies, I actually feel even more pressure.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Judge Eda straightened his clothes, walked out of the bathroom, walked on the corridor, and came to the door of the office.

The door to the office is closed, and the indicator next to it lights up slightly in red.

Unlike usual, the door is closed.

Judge Eda frowned slightly, feeling a little strange. He took out his card and swiped it on the card reader, then gently opened the door.

In an instant, a bright female voice came.

"Congratulations to Judge Eda, who will be transferred to the High Court soon!"

Clerk Kyoko stood in the office, holding a small plate in her hand, with a piece of delicate cake already placed on it, and handed it to Judge Eda. The usually three-person office was now filled with everyone from the first civil trial court.

The judge suddenly seemed crowded. On a chair next to him, there were many handwritten farewell cards and blessings, and a small bouquet of flowers placed on it.

"Judge Eda, this is the farewell party we are hosting for you today." Kyoko said with a smile.

Judge Eda was slightly stunned at first and didn't realize what was going on. It wasn't until Kyoko said the words "farewell party" that he realized what was going on. Judge Eda looked at the various small gifts prepared by everyone in the office, as well as a celebratory cake.

, as well as the senior judges standing in the office, all put down their work at this time, and came to say goodbye because they were about to leave the Shinjuku District Court, and they couldn't help but feel a little touched in their hearts.

The troubled mood that I had felt while still in the bathroom suddenly relaxed, and all the controversies surrounding me were no longer important at this moment.

My time at the Shinjuku District District Court was the starting point of my career as a judge. It was here that I was taught step by step by senior judges, and I grew up step by step from a young judge to a judge who can handle cases independently.

From the initial court hearing to writing the verdict.

I have completed my transformation from a theoretical scholar studying in my study room to a practical judge.

And in a few days, I will leave here.

Seeing that this familiar office was about to leave, he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant to leave.

"Good job, young man. Cherish the opportunity in the High Court." A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties standing in the office came over and patted Judge Eda on the shoulder. He had a dark complexion.

, glowing slightly red, is none other than Judge Kumagai Isamu of the previous Kawamoto Expressway case.

"Eat the cake quickly, I'm hungry. We can't eat if the protagonist doesn't move." Judge Kumagai laughed loudly.

"Thank you, senior." Judge Jiangtian smiled sheepishly, picked up a fork, dug out a piece, and started eating. As Jiangtian started to move, the atmosphere in the office began to become warmer. All the judges also seized this rare opportunity.

Opportunities to communicate with each other and chat.

"I see you have been in court for a day today. What case is being heard?" Judge Xiong Gui squeaked and quickly wiped out the cakes on his small plate.

"A case with simplified procedures is a dispute over the right of way of neighboring land. On the surface it looks simple, but in actual trial it is quite complicated." Judge Eda replied.

"Oh? Have both parties hired lawyers?" Judge Kumagai handed the empty plate to Kyoko who was standing next to him, smiled sheepishly, and asked her to cut another piece of cake.

"Yes, I didn't expect that in this kind of case, the level of lawyers on both sides is actually quite high. The plaintiff's side is lawyer Dai and Gu Meimen from Gumeimen Law Firm, and the defendant's side is lawyer Jiang Teng

Attorney Miyagawa and Attorney Kitahara from the firm.”

The moment he heard Kitahara's name, Judge Kumagai was stunned for a moment, as if the young male lawyer's confrontation at the court hearing in the Kawamoto Expressway case vaguely appeared in his mind, and then he smiled honestly.

"That lawyer is called Kitahara. I think he is very good." Judge Kumagai said, "Although he is very young, he often has unexpected performances."

"Ah?" Judge Eda turned his head in astonishment, "Really? But in today's case of dispute over neighboring land rights of way, the Kitahara lawyer never said a word from the beginning to the end."

The fork in Judge Kumagai's hand suddenly stopped, as if he heard something unbelievable, but after being surprised, he seemed to have figured something out, and his expression became the same as it should be, "Maybe that kid has other ideas.

.This is also in line with his style, he is always so unexpected."

At this time, one after another, judges came over to say goodbye to Jiangtian.

Amidst the conversation and laughter, Judge Eda was still concerned about what decision should be made in the dispute over the right of way of neighboring land. In his heart, Judge Eda did not agree with the "harmony-style" judgments that are common in tribunals, and each of them made a decision.

Fifty big boards. He believes that courts should strictly base their judgment on the law. If there is no law, they should strictly base on legal reasoning. Even if the final result seems a bit absurd, it should still be followed.

However, my style of refereeing is often criticized by some senior officials who feel that they do not pay attention to the actual effect of resolving disputes.

If not, let’s try making peace with this case. Judge Eda held the fork and scooped up a small piece of cake again.

Just such an idea came up, and the outcome of this neighboring land right-of-way case was decided in an instant.

Things in this world are so wonderful. What one person thinks is a big deal may be decided by others in less than a few seconds. Just like taking the college entrance examination.

Students, they have spent three years of hard work and concentrated their efforts to write the papers. In less than a few seconds, the marks will be judged to be the same by the examiners. This incident is very difficult for Takai and the gateball players.
