Chapter 24: professional ethics



  Chapter 24 Professional Conduct

  The full name of the American Teachers Union is the American Federation of Teachers. This member union was established in Chicago in 1916. After decades of development, it is now a behemoth with millions of members and branches in every city in the United States.

  Like trade unions in other industries, the teachers’ union will try its best to help its members strive for all kinds of benefits they deserve, make various demands, and provide some necessary consultation and counseling.

   Of course, there is a price to pay for enjoying rights. In the United States, everything is a transaction.

  The members of the trade union enjoy meticulous care, but the price they need to pay is to abandon their political stance and leave this issue to the trade union to decide.

  The American Teachers Union is a die-hard supporter of the Democratic Party of the United States, or to be more specific, today’s top union leaders are die-hard supporters of the Democratic Party. Every time there is a general election, the teachers’ union will donate a large amount of political donations to the Democratic Party camp.

  However, for most ordinary teachers in rural cities, it doesn’t matter which party comes to power. Anyway, those big figures will only win over the top leaders of the trade unions, and they will not rush to the countryside to listen to their voices.

  As long as they can guarantee their annual salary increase, and they can retire safely with a salary, it doesn't matter if donkeys or elephants rule this country, they are not **** humans anyway.

"Ms. Melonie-Beanconi, as a senior lawyer of a law firm that your union has cooperated with for many years, I have told you very clearly last time. As far as I know, the other party did not wantonly leak your private photos. In the public eye, and you say that the other party cheated you into taking some addictive prescription drugs during the relationship, and there is not enough evidence, the only reason you can sue the other party at present is to accuse the other party of beating you without reason and extorting you, if If you are going to use this reason to call the police, then I can transfer you to the police to intervene in the follow-up process, but you are worried that the other party will retaliate because of this, and publish all the photos to the public, which will damage your personal reputation, so I can do nothing.” Law In the consultation room, Andy Nelson, a partner of the contract firm of the teachers union, was wearing a suit and leather shoes, with a sympathetic expression, but he waved his hands weakly to Melonie who was sitting opposite:

   "Or, are you willing to continue to sit silently across from me, without saying a word, for twenty minutes?"

Teacher unions generally sign a cooperation agreement with the best local law firm, and twice a week, the law firm will send a group of lawyers to the union headquarters to provide corresponding legal advice to union members, because this kind of consultation can no longer receive clients as normal At that time, the charging method was billed by time, so the lawyers who provided consultation only gave each consultant a quota of 20 minutes.

Unless the consultation initiated by the opposite teacher can make unions and lawyers sensitive to the opportunity to bite governments at all levels and eat a large piece of oil and water, turning them into bloodthirsty vultures, most of the time, law firms will privately ask Members solve a consultant within five minutes, and try to avoid wasting time in this invalid consultation.

Like the question that the beautiful woman named Melonie in front of me at the moment, Andy Nelson didn't even have the desire to use his brain. If it wasn't in accordance with the contract with the teachers union, the law firm couldn't use trainee lawyers to perfunctory all the consultations. No, there must be a partner-level lawyer present, so he won't rush over to listen to a woman talk about such trivial matters.

  The ex-boyfriend took her picture years ago and now blackmails and beats her, and the woman fears that if she calls the police, the ex-boyfriend will spread the picture and ruin her reputation here and prevent her from entering any school.

Regarding this case, he had already given the other party a very clear answer last time. She only needs to pay enough money and hire an elite lawyer like him to take over. The negatives will also be recovered before the other party disseminates them.

But the premise is that she needs to walk into a law firm instead of a teacher union. She needs to give herself a check that can be withdrawn at any time and has a face value of no less than 500 yuan as a consulting fee, instead of handing it to herself. This trade union membership card is used to receive free legal advice.

   "Sir, I... I don't want to call the police, because he has some... I know him, and he will definitely do that." Melonie sat opposite Lawyer Andy, holding a coffee cup, and said a little depressed.

Andy Nelson sighed, and was about to use the bathroom as an excuse to pass this useless time, when the outside door was pushed open, and his assistant walked in from the outside: "Mr. Nelson, the office is calling, please After the consultation with the union, we will get to know the information of an in-state teacher named Hugh Spade with the union administrator."

  Hearing the name Hugh Spade, Melonie's hands shook, and the coffee cup fell to the floor. She apologized repeatedly, frantically flipping through the tissue in her handbag, wiping the coffee stains.

  Andy Nelson looked at Melonie, who had a strange expression, for a moment, then looked at his assistant, and asked, "What happened?"

"This teacher named Hugh Spade is illegally selling addictive prescription drugs. The total number is one hundred and fifty pills. That is to say, he has violated the Controlled Substances Act." The assistant looked at the call records recorded in his hand , Said to the boss.

Andy Nelson frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "What does this have to do with the firm? As I said, the firm can't do all the bad jobs. We are the best law firm in the local area, not street vendors soliciting business. !"

"Currently the police learned that the prescription drugs in his hands flowed into Holy Cross High School, and our employer, the Holy Cross High School Parents Committee, was extremely dissatisfied with this. They could not deal with the person who bought his drugs and distributed them to Holy Cross High School for free. Underage high school student, but want a public execution on this guy named Hugh Spade, let potential drug dealers know one thing, let them go to other junk high schools to sell pills, but if they dare to go to Holy Cross High, let them They know the difference between public schools and private schools." The assistant said meaningfully: "This is the employer's request."

  Andy Nelson glanced at Melonie, then pondered for a moment, then nodded to the assistant: "Okay, I will go to understand the relevant situation, after all, the employer is the first."

  The assistant agreed, walked out, and closed the door again.

Waiting for Melonie to clean up the stains and do it again, Andy Nelson smiled: "Miss, do you know Hugh Spade? Or, he is your ex-boyfriend, I saw when you heard this name just now , a little overreaction."

   "..." Melonie opened her mouth, and in the end she just nodded slightly, with a look of panic.

Andy Nelson stared at Melonie's expression sharply. He knew the situation of the woman in front of him very well, but he always felt that the woman's panic towards her ex-boyfriend was a bit false. This was his professional intuition developed over the years as a lawyer. In fact, this woman named Melonie is probably not afraid of her ex-boyfriend. Everything she shows at this time may make others believe that she is extremely afraid of her ex-boyfriend. Luo, this reaction is too exaggerated.

   When France surrendered, the citizens of Paris probably didn't scare her like this.

   But it doesn't matter, whether she is real or fake, it doesn't matter now. Lawyers don't care about the truth or the fake, they only care about whether they can help the employer solve the trouble.

Andy Nelson's face changed from rigid to lively, and he showed a bright smile: "Miss, it seems that before I go to the head of the union to understand the situation, I can definitely get to know this Hugh Spade from you. gentlemen."

   "But, sir, my consultation time is coming soon." Melonie revealed her watch and reminded Andy Nelson.

  Andy Nelson got up and helped Melonie make a cup of coffee again, put it in her hand, and then sat back in his seat, and said in a leisurely manner:

"No, I have the right to extend the consultation time. As long as the lawyer feels the need, this consultation time can be extended indefinitely, so don't worry about the time, drink a cup of coffee to calm down, then recall carefully, and talk to me about his past, Even if it is the privacy you think, I can guarantee that if you tell me something that interests me, I can help you get back the privacy that may be leaked at any time, I am a lawyer, a lawyer with professional ethics."

  Melonie lowered her head and laughed at herself: "Do I look like someone who can afford to pay a lot of money for your professional integrity?"

  Andy Nelson picked up the throat lozenges on the table, peeled off the package and threw one into his mouth, so as to relieve the discomfort in his throat caused by talking a thousand words a day:

"Don't worry, miss, you should have just heard that those rich people on the Holy Cross High School Parents Council have paid the price for my professionalism for you. Nightmare, I just need you to chat with me, everything is for the satisfaction of the employer."
