Mystery: Shadow of Order Chapter 7

"Attorney partner?" Edmund continued to look down in surprise.

The partnership system is actually reflected in all walks of life in Loen. For example, several people partnered to open a company, bought a boat together to go fishing, etc. Even strictly speaking, those kings of pirates, pirate generals and their subordinates pirates are partners. The Adrian law firm founded by Edmund and Mason is also a manifestation of the partnership system, but Edmund is not just a lawyer, he is only responsible for daily work.

The lawyer partner proposed by Rawls is actually to distribute a part of the firm's shares to some of the better lawyers in the firm, so that they can earn money from the firm in addition to their own fixed salary and case draw. If you get a part of it, you can earn dozens or hundreds of pounds more in one year. Additional income is second, mainly to firmly bind these people and firms.

"It's a really good idea." Edmund put away his single-lens glasses and rubbed his eyebrows, "But it's not necessary now."

"Isn't it necessary?" Rawls was a little surprised. He originally thought Edmund would accept it. After all, this was the only thing he remembered about the legal profession in his previous life. After all, in addition to fighting for love, the lawyers in the TV series are fighting for partner qualifications.

"If you proposed this plan when you just took over the firm, I would definitely agree, but it's not necessary now." Edmund sighed, it would be great if there was such a plan at the time.

Looking at Rawls' puzzled expression, Edmund seemed to see Mason back then. Although the two fathers and sons had a bad relationship, they were both talented as lawyers, and they were also like curly-haired baboons in business. Same.

"After Mason passed away, although you took over the firm, other firms poached people, and many barristers and solicitors in our firm were shaken. In order not to let them leave, I not only gave them a salary increase, but also Promise them that you won't interfere with the day-to-day work of the firm, as it did with Mason."

Edmund waved the paper in his hand and sighed: "Now, the weekly salary of senior solicitors in our firm has reached 4 pounds, and the annual income is almost 400 pounds, and the annual income of most barristers has also reached 4 pounds. Around £1,200 is already the highest treatment that Backlund Law Firm can offer."

Then I had to be able to figure it out! Rawls was helpless and continued to ask: "Isn't it better? Our firm will attract more barristers and solicitors."

"Then it depends on what you think." Edmund put down the piece of paper. "If you want to be a lawyer like your father, you can naturally do so."

"My father?" The relationship between the predecessor and his father was very bad, and they could quarrel with a few words, and the two never talked about the law firm. On the contrary, Edmund often talked to him about the interesting cases handled by the firm, so even if he had a bad relationship with his father, his predecessor also embarked on the road of being a lawyer.

"Well." Edmund let out a long sigh of relief, leaning on the sofa, as if caught in a memory.

"That was the fifth year we founded the firm, everything was on track, and the firm just had to run slowly without worrying about it. And Mason got married, and your mother was pregnant with you, for your sake. , he's going to be a judge in the High Court."

In Ruen, all judges (except part-time magistrates) must be appointed from lawyers from the Big Four law schools. Among them, a judge of a district court must have at least 7 years of experience as a trial lawyer; a judge of a high court must have more than 10 years of experience as a trial lawyer, or more than 2 years of experience as a district court judge; an appeal court judge, must have 15+ years experience as a barrister or 2+ years as a High Court judge.

At that time, Mason Adrian had more than 15 years of experience as a trial lawyer, and was a well-known barrister in Beckland. The nomination of a judge to the Court of Appeal may have to wait, but the nomination of a high court judge is relatively easy.

"Your father was nominated, but your mother died after giving birth to you. So instead of becoming a judge, Mason continued to be a lawyer, choosing to fill his life with endless cases. Not good, plus some emotional breakdowns because of your mother's death, and taking over so many cases, so you left so young."

Edmund's eyes were a little wet and his nose was red. For him, Mason was not just a friend, but also saved him from the fate of a teacher of etiquette, and his brother who inherited the baron. But he died early because of his addiction to alcohol.

"I think my father should be happy. He and his mother will definitely get eternal peace in the goddess's kingdom. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Rawls can only say that, the relationship between his predecessor and his father was weak, He had no impression of his mother, and when he came to him, he was even more superficial. He only hoped that the goddess of the night, who was also a traveler, would take good care of his parents.

Edmund took out his handkerchief, wiped the corners of his eyes, looked at Rawls and asked, "How long has it been since you went to St. Samuel's Church to pray?"

"Uh... It's been about a month since I attended the Moon Mass last month."

Rawls froze immediately. After he crossed over, he was frightened by the patronage, and then he was busy testing his abilities, so he didn't have time to go to church to pray. What's more, as a traveler, let alone going to St. Samuel's Cathedral in the North District, the Goddess of the Night, who has the title of "Mother of Hidden", or going to the Magistrates' Court in Chorwood District today, they all go around the holy wind. As he walked away from the church, for fear of getting too close, the Lord of the Storm found that he couldn't suppress those disrespectful words in his mind and gave himself a blow.

"Um."

Edmund is a follower of the Lord of the Storm, so he couldn't persuade Rolls to go to St. Samuel's Church. He bluntly returned to the topic: "Are you going to be a lawyer or a judge in the future?"

"Uh, I haven't thought about it, Uncle Robert."

If there is no doomsday, and the predecessor is not involved in the extraordinary world, Rawls naturally wants to be a lawyer for more than ten years in peace, and then nominate a judge to live his life smoothly. But when the end came, and he was already an Extraordinary, he didn't know what secrets he had, how could he live such a life.

Edmund nodded and said, "Yes, you've only been a lawyer for two years. But you have to think about it early. After all, it is related to the future development of the Adrian family."

Rawls lowered his head and responded silently.
