律政新鮮人的第二課

這兩日要做的野都沒有特別，主要是在chamber幫手做一些research。
個case都是一些關於樓宇買賣，其中一方因為在land search打不到一些documents，而以懷疑賣方沒有樓宇的good title，而要求踢契。

做 了很多天的research，自己就寫了一些pts，不過其實個大狀都做哂功課了，自己本身都沒有太多野可以幫到手。來來去去看了很多judgments d pts都是差不多的。不過我想大狀都沒有太detail去看每一個judgment，而自己看完judgment都發覺裡面個官講的野同 headnotes都有很大的不同。

今個星期做完這個，下星期又可以上court 了！！

paper work真的很悶．．．

今個星期都有少少唔開心．．因為．．我的爺爺過身了．．．

不知為何當天心血來潮，放了工就去醫院看佢．．．

:(

在醫院佢都認得我，我同佢講我來探佢，佢都有應我．．．
估不到過了三小時，佢就不在了．．．

女朋友對我真的很好，一知道就快的士來看我。其實之前心想同佢一起去老人院看看佢的，不過現在沒有機會了．．．

唉．．．．

律政新鮮人的第一課

返來香港已經有幾日了，依然都有少少累。是呀，現在已經有女朋友了，感覺很開心。

今天是第一天返mini-pupilage的實習，跟了一位大律師去Magistrates’ Court看看他當Duty Lawyer的情況。Duty Lawyer是什麼呢？根據Judiciary網頁的簡介：

當值律師服務提供律師代表被告，服務範圍幾乎涵蓋所有在裁判法院和少年法庭會遇到的控罪。當值律師服務由香港律師會和香港大律師公會聯合主理。

任何需要當值律師服務的被告，應前往有關裁判法院的法庭聯絡處。不過當值律師服務的職員也會主動直接接觸被關押的被告。

申請當值律師服務的人士必須通過案情審批和入息審查。申請人需先繳付400元的定額手續費，案件才會獲得受理。不論案件延續多久，申請人毋需繳付其他費用。但是，如果被告經濟狀況有困難，定額手續費可獲豁免。

今 天真的看到很多野，最主要是在Magistrates' Court的Court One同Duty Lawyer Office度工作。Court One主要是接一些新的cases，所有提堂都會在這裡進行。今日有很多機會看到大律師點樣給clients advice。我自己覺得當Duty Lawyer都幾stressful，每一件案件都只有很少時間去prepare同消化。他們的工作很多時候是要對client說出不同options的 利同弊。另外，除了提堂之外，很多時候都會為當時人求情，如果是被訂了罪或認了罪的時候。

今日接觸到很多cases，有theft，非禮，刑事恐嚇，藏毒，傷人等．．．

有些真的很深刻，例如有個client被控偷竊，但原來佢是中度弱智的。另一個犯藏毒，但可能佢收到毒品影響，同佢講什麼野到好像收唔到，要重複又重複講解。

今 天學到很多野。在我觀察求情的主要原因都不外付：有悔意，無案底，感化官報告正面，父母在場支持，願意賠償受害人損失，年齡細，是家庭支柱．．． apply 保釋的原因多數是：guarantee唔離開香港，交出旅行證件，不騷擾証人，定時到警署報到，願意交一定數目的保釋金．．．

另外都發覺犯人在法庭真的是要律師問你什麼就答什麼，答得太多同不關係的都會激怒法官，影響佢對犯人的看法。

另外今天有幸看看Newton Hearing，很像一般審訊，但是hearing的目的是要find out the facts of the case，clear up在審訊時控辯雙方不同意的facts。

在lunch時談了很多關於找師傅的事，佢認為要做多些research，多些知道師傅是做什麼類型的case的。找一個好師傅很緊要，影響 一個bar的前途。雖然SC是十分之出名，但很多野佢地deal with都是一些complicated同high level的野，young bar可能吸收不到，同很多young bar所面對的，佢地d senior咪必知道。佢講了很多次，現在差不多要找師傅了，所以遲些都要做加油了。另外，佢提到出pcll offer時會寄一執信你做暑期作業，就是要寫一些civil case的summary。但是高等法庭八月會交假，所以要早些做。 

Day 14@Toronto

After yesterday accident, there are many things I need to finish before my car is going to repair.....

I have just brought my car back home for a while, and will bring it to repair again this Saturday...This time my aunt can drive me back home, and I don't need to take the bus home...

Taking bus at Toronto is very upset. Yesterday I have walked 30 mins to bus stop because there are more buses to the direction I'm going to. I have waited for a while. Some buses pass by, but they do not stop. They are so called "Express" buses, and will not stop at the middle. I feel so upset especially seeing so many buses pass by without stopping...

Finally I manage to take one, but it does not go that far and I need to change another bus afterwards. So many trouble ar!!!!!!

:(

I have gone to medical check today. Report will be received next Wednesday. Also I have gone to the bank and do some stuffs....

Nothing special today la.............I will be back soon....

By the way, I may not go to the internet cafe at Market Village later, as it is so far away and i can't go there without a car....I will try my best to write sth..there is a public library nearby and I can get internet access there as well...

Day 13@Toronto

Today is a messy day. I wake up early this morning because I want to eat hash brown from McDonald. I plan to wash my car afterwards as it is so dirty...

But the hash brown is not good at all.........

After that I leave and drive to wash my car. When I'm driving at the middle lane at Steele and Hwy 404, a pickup truck hits me....and runs away!!! Damn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His left lane is congested, he changes lane without looking whether there is coming traffic!!! FUCK!!!

He even runs away!!!

The road is so busy and I have no time to take even a photo at him.........

I feel so down.....

Luckily my car can still move and I can drive back home....

The door beside driver's seat is seriously damaged. My left mirror is gone.......

so sad.............What the FUCK!!!!

I need to repair my car....I need $1780 Can to repair it......need to buy a 2nd hand door...need to paint it.....so expensive...I can even buy a ticket back to HK....Damn it!!!

I have no choice but to repair.........so so so so sad......

I need to say goodbye to my car as I will not see it anymore....I need to ask my auntie to pick it up for me because by the time it is repaired I have already left Toronto...

no car at Toronto = no place to go.........

For a 15-min ride, now I need an hour to go.........

may be these few days I clean up my house and ride more bicycle...........need to buy a bicycle lock as well....so trouble......

no mood at all....

no personal injury...just a little twist of my ankle...

so sad....

Day 12@Toronto

Nothing to do.....

Go to watch Champions' League Final....

As I cannot watch at home, I go out and watch it....in a Chinese restaurant...haha...

At first I want to go to watch with other local Italians..but really don't know where the town is...so give up....

The match, honestly, is not an exciting match..

but Milan wins finally...YEAH!!!...

so happy....when I'm there, I have met some students from York University. They are Milan's fans too...that's great...so happy to see Maldini holding the cup on the stage again....

Day 11@Toronto

Today is a fine day. After chatting with her for a while, then i go out for a while......

I visit a shop which is an authorised dealer of Precious Moment's collection. I know she loves that a lot, don't know why..I just want to have a look and see see....

Don't know why after driving for a while, I feel a little bit tired....may be yesterday I was exhausted after riding bicycle for the whole day...

I've eaten Harvy for lunch today (actually is tea.......)...their Angus beef's burger is so good...and u are able to choose what is inside your burger...really yummy.....

On my way home, I have been to Fair View's Public Library. It doesn't change a lot, but I discover that I can access internet there ar...but my library card needs to be replaced...Luckily they are willing to replace a new one for me..so later I can play internet and reply email there la....hehe

After I go back home, I check check what I need to bring back home...I have flipped through the photo album...see some photos of my past...my baby photos...my brother's photos...also my mother and father's photos...they were so young...and some I haven't seen before.....

I discover one memo..which records how much I weight and what time I was born....

I also find some words written by my mother...

She said, "Kei is smart. He can walk when he is 11-mth old now. He likes to walk. Babies older than him still cannot walk but he can run now. He can say Mama Baba BorBor and "bird bird"...I don't know what he will be in the future but he seems he has a huge temper. He often throws stuffs....."

Don't know why...when I see it, I cry...non-stop crying....can't help myself but only cry and cry....it seems that I have owed my parents too much.....I feel so regretted...........I love them...

Immediately I call them...I want to listen to their voice...I know my father will go back to work at 8am...so I call a little bit earlier...just want to hear their voices....

Day 10@Toronto

Today the weather is a lot better with sunny sky, not too hot and not too cold. I think it's about 15C as I have read the temperature from the meter outside my house....hope it's correct...

Feel so happy...as I have a long chat with her today...

After that, really have nothing to do...as planned, I'm going to ride my bicycle at Woodbine Beach. Last time I'd already said I should bring my bicycle with me there. The scene is so beautiful and nice. Many ppl are riding bicycle too~

The traffic is a little bit congested as there will be a firework show coming tonight. Many ppl have gone there earlier so that they can find a better place to watch. I'm not going to watch it, as I think watching firework should be watched with her...I hope I can watch it with her in this coming July in Hong Kong....

That's a little bit difficult to me to find a parking space here. I decide not to park where I parked last time. I'm sure there won't have any parking space left. I've parked my car which was at the other end of the beach....I've brought a lot of things with me today - some snacks and a bottle of water...

Today I have nearly ridden my bicycle the whole afternoon. I have gone to many places. There is a park here where it is designated for birds. The scene is so beautiful. I have reached a lighthouse where I can see the whole Toronto clearly, especially the landmark CN Tower. I have taken some photos too...hope it is clear..There are many seagulls flying in the sky. They are so scare when I come near to them....

After riding for a while, I have seen someone selling hot dog. I have bought one, very yummy indeed........hehehe

Today is a wonderful afternoon. I have done a lot of exercise, and lose a lot of weight...haha...

One more thing, I have bought a lot of firework with me...I think I will go to a nearby school and play...let me take some photos later sin...hehe
