话说小月连续两次被加州法院裁决船票没送到,法官却不嫌弃他,还给他具体建议。第一次,给了一行的建议:
The Court notes that Defendant can be served relatively easily. See CCP § 415.40.
第二次,给了一段建议,让其到海牙公约去找:
Plaintiff is not permitted to employ the methods for serving Defendant under the California Code of Civil Procedure because state law is preempted by the provisions of the Hague Convention. The full text of the applicable provisions of the Hague Convention can be found on the United States Department of State website (http://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal-considerations/judicial/service-of-process.html).
简直就是手把手地教小月,--- 加州法官多么好。然而,法官也是人,也有没耐心和粗鲁之时。比如在否决小月的电邮送船票时,就简单粗暴,仅用了一句话:
Plaintiff has not provided the Court with any authority to support his assertion that the Court can deem the Plaintiff service of process by email message effectively under the law。
太不留情面了。而联邦法院同样否决电邮送船票,不仅花了整整四页解释,尤其是最后简直就是语重心长:
Plaintiff, who is not represented by counsel, is encouraged to consult with the Federal Pro Bono Project’s Legal Help Center in either of the Oakland or San Francisco federal courthouses for assistance. The San Francisco Legal Help Center office is located in Room 2796 on the 15th floor at 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102. The Oakland office is located in Room 470-S on the 4th floor at 1301 Clay Street, Oakland, CA 94612. Appointments can be made by calling (415) 782-8982 or signing up in the appointment book located outside either office, and telephone appointments are available. Lawyers at the Legal Help Center can provide basic assistance to parties representing themselves but cannot provide legal representation.
翻译(法官对小月语重心长的忠告):原告没有请律师,建议咨询奥克兰或旧金山法院的《联邦无偿法律帮助中心》(the Federal Pro Bono Project’s Legal Help Center)获得帮助。旧金山的《法律帮助中心》办公室在:
Room 2796 on the 15th flooe
450 Golden Gate Avenue
San Francisco, CA 94102
奥克兰办公室在:
Room 470-S on the 4th floor
1301 Clay Street
Oakland, CA 94612
约见可以通过电话:(415) 782-8982 或者在两个办公室的约见本上签名,电话谈话也可以。在法律帮助中心的律师可以对这些自我代表的客户提供最基本协助,但不会为你出庭。
老农我看完,已经热泪盈眶了,美国法院好,加州法院好,联邦法院更好。我们的非律小月如果付不起律师费,赶紧求教于法律帮助中心吧,那是免费滴。小月要是学会了如何运用法律,也可以传帮带的小羊呀。还有多少旅美旅加中国人在等着普法捏。
