![[Lawyer’s Perspective] What a Legal Professional Thought About While Reflecting on the Textile Factory Arson Case](/npublic/img/s.png "[Lawyer’s Perspective] What a Legal Professional Thought About While Reflecting on the Textile Factory Arson Case")
It’s been a little over two months since the arson incident at the bustling textile factory. The real reason I’m writing this article only now is due to a small, personal circumstance. Two months ago, Xiao Tian from the School of Law at Beijing University of Science and Technology came to our team for a summer internship. At the time, just to gauge Xiao Tian’s legal expertise, I asked her to write an article for me to take a look at. As it happened, the textile-factory arson case had occurred not long before, so I suggested that Xiao Tian write an article on that very topic. She did, and when I read it, I thought her writing was quite good—though it differed somewhat from my own perspective. I think I even said something along the lines of, “I’ll revise the article a bit and then publish it on the ‘Haibo Criminal Defense’ WeChat public account.” But somehow, I never got around to doing that. Now that Xiao Tian’s two-month summer internship is almost over, I suddenly remembered this project—and decided to finally see it through. That’s how this article came to be.
In the past couple of days, two incidents have been circulating with considerable buzz within legal circles: One is an incomplete copy of a judgment issued by the People’s Court of a certain county in southwestern China, involving a construction contract dispute; the other is a series of short videos documenting the trial of the late Frank Caprio, former judge of the Providence Municipal Court in Rhode Island, USA, along with memoirs paying tribute to Judge Frank. In the judgment on the construction contract dispute issued by the People’s Court of that county in southwestern China, the court employed straightforward, unadorned political logic and factual rationality to evaluate and reject the defendant’s defense based on the statute of limitations—though such a defense might otherwise have been legally valid. In the short videos of Judge Frank’s trials that have been widely shared, most episodes feature Judge Frank engaging in witty and insightful conversations with the defendants about their lives, ultimately dismissing the charges against them. If there’s any common thread between these two cases, it’s precisely how both approached the interplay between natural justice, human sentiment, objective facts, and legal provisions—and how they arrived at judgments that were accepted by the parties involved and widely endorsed by the public.
To deeply implement the socialist rule-of-law philosophy and help build a cadre team that is loyal, clean, and responsible, recently, Lawyer Hai-bo Shui from Yunnan Zhongji Law Firm was invited by China Shipbuilding Industry Materials Yun-Gui Co., Ltd. to deliver a special rule-of-law lecture on the theme of “Preventing Illegal and Criminal Activities.”
Our firm is divided into several business departments based on their respective areas of practice, including: Criminal Law Department, Civil Law Department, Administrative Law Department, Financial and Securities Department, Construction and Real Estate Department, Intellectual Property Department, and Labor and Healthcare Department.
