Testimonials of the contestants:
Mr. Zheng Xian
Mr. Zheng Xian said frankly, "As a contestant stepping on the tail of ‘youth’, this half-year preparation time is particularly precious. From strengthening the business ability to consolidating the academic foundation, we had to go through piles of cases and professional articles before each competition. This experience was not only a rare learning opportunity, but also allowed me to gain the deep friendship of discussing cases side by side. In the future, I will take this growth and friendship with me and continue to move forward firmly on the road of criminal defense."
Attorney Qian Hao
Qian Hao shared, "Thinking differently is the only way to realize the true meaning of handling cases. Whether it is in the training organized by the firm or working on a case with senior colleagues of the same firm, we always take thinking about the case from different perspectives as the logical starting point. This time to participate in the moot court competition, finally let me have a kind of ‘poking through the windowpaper’ feeling, on the one hand, with prosecutors, judges, lawyers, college scholars of the practical background of the teachers and seniors to teach us, on the other hand, the competition of the different identities of the settings, forcing us to the perspective of the public prosecutor, the defender, the defendant, the victims to We will try to figure out every detail of the case from the perspective of the prosecutor, the defense, the defendant and the victim.
The competition has standardized criminal defense, and it is a great opportunity for us to learn more about criminal defense. Through this competition, we have standardized the necessary actions in criminal defense and clarified the prohibited and dangerous actions that may be at risk. I believe that all the participants in this competition will feed the experience accumulated in the competition into the practice of case handling. Practicing criminal defense is always on the way."
Attorney Chen Sai-Nan
Mr. Chen Sai Nan shared, "Practicing in practice, growing up between roles. The six-month Beijing Lawyers Association Young Lawyers Criminal Mock Trial Competition was a rare gift for me in my practice. I am thankful for this experience, which gives me the opportunity to switch between different roles, sharpen myself in the real battle and realize the transformation.
As a prosecutor in the finals, I was able to break away from a single perspective and truly feel the weight of justice behind me. The experience of playing the role of witness and defendant in the competition prompted me to deduce the complex state of mind from the few words of the case file: as a witness, I need to capture the subtle waves of emotions behind the statement; as a defendant, I have to guess the cognition and motivation of his behavior. This kind of deep empathy allowed me to learn how to touch people's hearts through words, and also laid a solid foundation for effective communication with my clients in the future.
Repeated rehearsals and thought collisions with my teammates in the courtroom made me continuously absorb multiple perspectives; the guidance of my seniors helped me transform the laws and regulations on paper into the ability to deal with real trials. This journey is the catalyst for my rapid growth.
The practice and precipitation of such a multi-perspective is not only the improvement of professional skills, but also the consolidation of the initial heart of practice. In the future, I will carry this harvest forward with determination, with more professional and comprehensive quality, guarding every fairness and justice worth cherishing."
Ms. Liu Bingyang
Liu Bingyang, who also won the first runner-up prize in the Chaoyang District, also gained his own growth insights from the event: "As a young lawyer, the practical experience I accumulated in my daily life is not rich enough, so it is a precious opportunity for me to participate in the Criminal Defense Mock Competition this time.
In the process of preparing for the competition, I was able to put on the table the issues that I usually ignore or fail to think deeply about in my work - such as the detailed examination of evidence, the flexible adjustment of courtroom strategy, the rigor of legal expression, etc., and the team members launched a systematic and in-depth discussion.
And in the actual combat session of the moot court, we have to according to the role of the lottery to find the core issues, to deal with the other side of the fierce attack or strict defense, every time after the game, but also to get the judges teacher very targeted professional review. This multi-party participation, focus on professional communication atmosphere, let me really appreciate the criminal defense is not only a personal professional output, but also a brainstorming, mutual inspiration of the collision of ideas. The whole process is full of challenges, but the harvest far exceeds expectations and makes me more confident in my future career path."
Attorney Xu Wei
Xu Wei also has a profound realization of this journey: "For me, the value of a competition never lies in the final victory or defeat, but in the real growth of the process. To me, the value of a match never lies in the final victory or defeat, but in the real growth of the process. Every moment of going all out is the answer to no regrets.
The process of fighting with excellent opponents is the collision of thinking, but also the broadening of vision; when fighting side by side with teammates, from brainstorming to tacit understanding, every collaboration makes each other understand the meaning of cooperation. More fortunately, with the full support of the firm, I was able to stretch myself and show my ability on a bigger stage - these have already far exceeded the expectations of the rich harvest.
What makes me even more happy about this competition is that I met a group of shining young lawyers. They have different personalities, but all of them carry the sincerity and love for criminal defense, and interpret the initial heart with professionalism and passion. They are the new force of China's lawyers, but also the hope for the future of the criminal defense field, and it is a great honor to be able to work side by side with such a group of peers.
Looking back on this journey, not only met like-minded partners, but also on behalf of King&Capital Law Firm, to show our criminal business professional style. Every experience counts, every encounter is precious - this journey, really live up to this trip."
Mr. Feng Wang
Feng Wang was deeply touched by the professional value and teamwork of the competition: "The core work of a lawyer is to identify and analyze the law, and the process is like solving a puzzle. The cases provided by the organizing committee of the competition are very deep and controversial, and their degree of controversy exceeds that of most practical cases, providing us with valuable space for research and deliberation. Thanks to the training we received from the firm and the real-life trials, we were able to strengthen our business foundation and face the challenges with ease.
What is especially valuable is that I met a group of like-minded partners in the competition. We argued heatedly about legal points and prepared for the same goal. The deep friendship I formed during the competition is more valuable than the awards, and will benefit me for the rest of my life.
Love can withstand the long years, and sincerity can overcome uncertainty. This is the way I want to go on my professional journey."
