The First Lecture of Zhiming Lecture Hall in 2020 — The Artistic Techniques of Case Handling
On the afternoon of January 16, 2020, the "First Lecture of Zhiming Lecture Hall 2020" hosted by Guangdong Zhiming Law Firm commenced in the firm's conference room. The theme of this sharing lecture was "Artistic Techniques for Case Consultation," aiming to share lawyers' creative thinking and secret techniques for consulting cases. The firm's director, Vice President of Shenzhen Lawyers Association, and founder of Artistic Litigation, Lawyer Wang Tengfeng, served as the keynote speaker, with lawyers, legal assistants, and other staff attending the lecture. Additionally, this lecture was simultaneously live-streamed on Douyin.
During the lecture, Director Wang Tengfeng, drawing on over 36 years of case-handling experience, delivered a brilliant speech on how to use creative thinking to easily gain clients' high trust and confidence. Director Wang pointed out that when consulting on cases, one should remember three steps: orderly listening, precise questioning, and necessary answers. Orderly listening means not allowing clients to speak freely but guiding them to concisely state objective facts rather than subjective feelings. Precise questioning involves understanding the core of the case and clarifying substantive and procedural issues. Necessary answers mean that responses to clients' questions should neither be too brief nor too comprehensive. He also advised lawyers to approach clients with goodwill while maintaining a sense of caution, to be measured in their conversations, and never to make "guaranteed" promises.In addition,Director Wang Tengfeng also explained other consultation techniques.
Finally, Director Wang emphasized that handling cases requires not only focusing on economic value but also always remembering social responsibility, and to be lawyers with a sense of justice.
The entire lecture captivated both on-site and online attendees, who were utterly amazed and expressed that the lecture was worth a fortune, broadening their minds, breaking their thinking patterns, and expanding their horizons! They stated that listening to this lecture would surely yield twice the results with half the effort in their future practice, and strongly urged Director Wang to hold a series of lectures!
