Lawyer's Appeal | 律师的上诉

English Original

Many years ago, a junior partner in a law firm was sent to a distant state to represent a long-term client accused of robbery.

After days of trial, the case was won, the client acquitted and released.

Excited about his success, the attorney telegraphed the firm: "Justice prevailed."

The senior partner replied in haste: "Appeal immediately."
