The Standard of Proof
Description
Song Qian hated being told she wasn’t cut out to be a lawyer. She did not work hard for all those years in law school only to be told she didn’t suit the profession. Just because she was not as ruthless, arrogant and self-centered like her collogues didn’t mean she was a bad lawyer. Being optimistic, hard working and quirky was what she prided herself on and she wasn’t planning on changing that.
However, when her boss, the famous Barrister Boa Kwon, flings her into a high profile murder case she starts to question her abilities. Simply studying law is entirely different to being confronted with the dark reality of a murder case. You would think that when mysterious and handsome Solicitor Zhou Mi offers to be her mentor, her problems would be solved. But if anything, he makes the situation worse as Qian she finds herself questioning her sanity. Will Zhou Mi flip her perception of the world on its head? Or will she find herself unemployed?
One thing is for sure; Song Qian seems to have the odds stacked up against her. She has a hell of a murder case to figure out and an impossible client, Kim Heechul. The evidence is seems so clear cut against him, she even thinks that Heechul has committed the murder even though he inisted he didn't. If that is not enough, the infamous Prosecutor Siwon is on the opposing side and he is out to get revenge on Barrister Boa Kwon after she embarrassed him a couple of years ago. Despite this, Song Qian refused to lose, she didn’t adopt the name of Victoria in Korea for no reason. Legal maxims were often derived from Latin roots and she wanted to define her self by one too. Victoria, the Victorious.
Foreword
Hello everyone!! This is a three/four shot that may be extended out into a series depending on the response/ideas I get. I’ve got a couple of fan-fictions going so this might be a bit slow. Just as a note, the law and procedures discussed are in accordance to the jurisdiction I live in, not South Korea’s. I don’t have the time to research Korea’s laws so you guys are stuck with the legal principles I’ve learnt in class. In saying that, since this is fictional there are some things that are inconsistent with reality. Why? If I made it all technical this would be an extremely boring fan-fiction. Also legal procedure is dull and tedious so you get the exciting version.
This is my first time not writing an own character story so bear with me. I was partly inspired for this faniction when watching “When Love Walked in” but I can assure you the plot is completely different. Please enjoy and let me know what you think!
