My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!-Chapter 789 - 475: The Answer to the Riddle

Zhongtian Law Firm.

[According to Articles 122, 465, 646, and 648 of the Republic Civil Code,

lawfully established contracts are protected by law.

If the parties agree that the debtor is to perform the obligation to a third party, and the debtor neither performs the obligation to the third party nor meets the terms of the agreement, the debtor shall bear the liability for breach of contract to the creditor.

If someone receives undue benefits without legal basis and causes loss to another person, the injured party has the right to demand restitution of those undue benefits from the infringer...]

[This case involves both contract law and tort law.

According to the relevant provisions of contract law, Taoxin Company signed a labor contract with the farm workers, and both parties should fulfil their contractual obligations.

The company’s failure to pay wages on time constituted a breach of the contract terms, and it should bear liability for breach of contract.

Furthermore, according to the provisions of tort law, the company’s act of withholding wages also constituted an infringement of the workers’ lawful rights...]

[Respected judge, members of the jury, what we would like to emphasize is that, according to the evidence provided by our clients, Taoxin Company’s wage arrears have continued for as long as eight months.

According to the defendant’s statement, Taoxin Company is actively resolving the issue, yet up to now, it has been unable to provide any progress or relevant explanatory materials regarding the solution.

It has persistently denied our client’s basic and reasonable demands and has even employed intimidation and violent methods to obstruct the process.

This has inflicted both physical and psychological double harm on our client and their families.

Taking into account all the above circumstances, on behalf of my clients, Li, Zhao, Wang, and a total of eighteen people, we demand that Taoxin Company pay a total of 473,800 RMB for wages, interest, as well as 32,000 RMB in compensation, and bear the corresponding contractual and tort liabilities...]

After the mechanical voice in the conference room had disappeared for a whole minute, the entire room stayed deathly silent, not a sound to be heard.

All the onlooking lawyers watched the entire "mock trial" held inside the law firm with their eyes wide and mouths agape.

Before major cases, the law firm would sometimes arrange "mock trials," organizing related lawyers to debate in advance, with other lawyers assisting from the side, to collectively strategize and analyze potential situations that may arise in court.

This was usually routine for the lawyers.

Only this time, Director Zheng had seriously requested the presence of all lawyers.

What everyone thought would be a normal case debate turned out to be shocking— the plaintiff’s "lawyer" wasn’t human...

If there were skeptics at the beginning regarding the so-called "AI lawyer," by the end of the closing statements, no one could close their mouths in disbelief.

Even Director Zheng, the organizer of this "mock trial," wore a face of complexity at this moment.

He had considered Lin Haitang’s sworn assurances, but he had not expected that the "Discipline Court Chief Justice" developed by Baiyeji would perform so extraordinarily...

Considering the complexity of criminal cases, he chose a civil economic dispute case that was about to go to court within the firm and served as the defense lawyer himself.

Labor wage disputes are also a type of case that accounts for a high proportion in legal aid, having both commonality and representativeness.

He had assumed that even if the AI performed strongly, at best it would just recite relevant legal articles by rote and conduct vague searches for arguments based on the case details.

However, unexpectedly, the opposition not only presented the case logically during the mock trial but also provided precise semantic interpretations of the legal articles, and was able to make substantial and effective responses and rebuttals based on its own arguments.

Even the drafting of contracts, organization of evidence chains, and drafting of legal documents—dreary and basic tasks that are everyday work for lawyers—were performed flawlessly.

Even as an experienced lawyer, he could not find a single fault in the legal documents drafted by the opposition...

On these foundational tasks alone, many interns with two or three years of experience could not achieve such perfection.

More importantly, humans can make mistakes, while robots are almost incapable of doing so, giving them an enormous advantage in this respect...

"This is impossible..."

If there were those in the crowd who were shocked, fearful, or at a loss, the one with the most difficult expression had to be Lawyer Han Li.

Today’s economic dispute case was originally in her hands, so she understood the entire case better than anyone else present.

That’s why her inner turmoil was greater than that of the others.

To be fair, even if she were to go up, she likely couldn’t perform better than this AI "Discipline Court Chief Justice."

For an elite lawyer with seven or eight years of experience, the thought that her week of hard work could not compare to a so-called AI lawyer’s output from two minutes of computer calculations was enough to smash a person’s convictions...

The conference room remained quiet for a long while until Director Zheng finally stood up with a look of emotion.

"Clap! Clap, clap, clap!"

Following Professor Zheng’s lead, the room finally erupted into sporadic applause, marveling at this milestone product from humanity...

Today, by coincidence, Tang Xiaoqi was present as the project leader for Baiyeji. She nodded in satisfaction after looking at the back-end data.

Then she closed her notebook and turned with a smile.

"Lawyer Lin, today’s test was quite perfect; thank you for the suggestions you’ve made to improve our company’s product these past days."

"Not at all, it’s what I should do."

Lin Haitang also smiled and shook her hand.

"Director Zheng, I also thank Zhongtian Law Firm for the strong support given to Baiyeji!
