I once heard a law teacher about this movie a few years ago, he said this is a description of USA civil action movies, but I have not been in the shop to find this DVD, unexpectedly found it after a few years, has no intention in the supermarket.This film is not a Hollywood action films or other mystery as a thrilling action scenes and full of suspense story, unlike other films that are from A to Z description of court trial in the prosecution and defense combative debate.His performance is a process, a development process America civil cases and a popular in some cases lawyers began to encounter the situation and his journey from taking over a civil case.This is a pursuit of the truth of his lawyer, money, friendship is depleted, facing bankruptcy, but eventually faith let him continue."Civil" author once said:"It is a bottomless pit, all close to its people must accept the test, it tests your cognitive, belief, choice, forcing you to test the value of the self, the necessity of the truth, this is the most fascinating."
Not long ago, I once helped a hurt in the traffic accident parties.She is a from the field to Tianjin working girl, just18Years old, her parents divorced, as the waiter salary every month hundreds of yuan.One day on the road riding a bicycle with a large truck traffic accidents, causing her to physically hurt altogether constitute five disability, and every point disability levels are relatively high, from grade five to grade ten unequal.After the accident with her father from the outside to Tianjin, at that time, they still owe the hospital costs without the ability to pay off, after the lawsuit to get compensation, her father came to my law firm when the helpless, I provide the support for the party.During handling, I have been to their temporary rental place, Xiqing District, a relatively remote Warren, father and daughter lived in a few square meters of the house, the little girl lying on the bed unable to move, her father to work as a farm labourer and get around some self-employed waste sale earned money for their daughter the life of two spending, their purpose is to play this lawsuit to get compensation, paid the hospital fees go home.After several times of trial, the court made by large trucks compensate for the little girl economic and spiritual loss corresponding judgment, can be said that the scope of compensation in the law they got very big support, but I know that, in addition to the decision of the court, but they need more money to spend.
From this angle to think, I think the law is strong in front of every citizen, because he can give to the relief of citizen, but citizens are waiting for his grace, but the limitations of the law itself sometimes but not one hundred percent make up a citizen the actual needs of relief.
