要求法官签禁止令


法官之前已明确拒绝了禁止令申请,Harvey再次来到法官办公室要求法官签禁止令的理由是什么呢?

原来Harvey觉得自己申请禁止令的事实足够充分,如果就此提起诉讼,其他法官看到这些事实后会推翻现有法官的裁决。

JUDGE: My earlier ruling wasn’t clear enough for you?

HARVEY: Crystal. But I didn’t want you to suffer for it. You see, if you don’t sign my injunction, there’s going to be a lawsuit. And when the next judge sees all the facts, he’s going to overturn your ruling.

法官提出要Harvey书面承认和他老婆偷情,以此作为签禁止令的交换条件,法官这么做的目的何在?

JUDGE: To prevent her from taking me for half of everything I own.


词汇句型:

  • yours to keep 归你了
  • overturn 推翻(裁决)
  • Down the tubes 一落千丈
  • leave the bench (法官)离职;注:bench是指法官席
  • Try my hand at litigation 尝试一下诉讼,这里是指法官想转行做诉讼律师
  • quid pro quo 交换条件。法律文件中的常用词汇。

        Sorry, sir, but…
        No introductions necessary. We’re on a first-name basis. I brought you a present. Yours to keep. After you sign my injunction.
        A pen?
        It’s custom. French. Le Bic.
        My earlier ruling wasn’t clear enough for you?
        Crystal. But I didn’t want you to suffer for it. You see, if you don’t sign my injunction, there’s going to be a lawsuit. And when the next judge sees all the facts, he’s going to overturn your ruling.
        You may be right. But by then, your clients will have dumped you.
        You may be right, but that sterling reputation that you value so highly? Down the tubes.
        Which would matter, except for one thing. I’ve decided to leave the bench. Try my hand at litigation.
        And I’m your last case.
        Divorce will do that. Make you want to change your life.
        You filed for divorce?
        Soon enough. Perhaps we could discuss a little quid pro quo before I do.
        I’m listening.
        You sign a document that says you slept with my wife. I’ll give you your injunction.
        And why would you want me to do that?
        To prevent her from taking me for half of everything I own.
        So, what you’re saying is, you’d like to blackmail me.
        I’m saying we could both benefit. And since you’re the one who screwed me, I’d say you owe me one.
