Dialogue
Taras Petrenco, a third-year student of a law Institute, was on his way home for his winter vacation. During a stop at a station a woman and a boy entered his compartment. The boy, Ivan by name, was a secondary school graduate and the woman, his mother, was a doctor. When they learned that Taras was a law student they began asking him questions about the profession of a lawyer.
Woman: At what educational establishments are lawyers trained?
Taras:They are trained at law institutes and at law faculties of some universities.
Ivan:Are investigators also trained there ?
Taras: You see, Ivan, an investigator is first of all a lawyer. A lot of our graduatesbecome investigators.
Woman: Where else do your graduates work ?
Taras:They work at different law offices: at courts, at Prosecutor offices, at the Bar, at notary offices etc.
Ivan:But the work of an investigator is the most interesting, isn’t it ?
Taras:It is very interesting indeed, but you must not forget that it is also very difficult.
Woman: The work of a judge, of a prosecutor, of an advocate is not easy either, is it?
Taras:It isn't . A lawyer has always to deal with human destinies and its no easy job, you know.
Woman:There is a lot of crime at this period. Perhaps the punishment of criminals is isn’t strict enough ?
Taras:The punishment is strict enough. But the struggle against crime consists not only in punishing. The main task is to prevent crime, to root out the causes and to eliminate the conditions creating crime.
Woman: And how do the lawyers cope with the task?
Taras: A steady decline in crime is a striking demonstration of the successes achieved by them.
Woman: But there is still work for investigators, isn’t there?
Taras:There is. If a crime has been committed it is necessary to find the criminal and to investigate the case carefully and rapidly. And it is the investigator who does it.
Woman:The work of a lawyer is very responsible and he must have good knowledge.
Taras:It’s very responsible. Besides good professional training a lawyer needs a general education level.
Woman: A lawyer must also be a person of very high moral qualities, mustn’t he ?
Taras: Yes, his conduct is to be irreproachable. He is to be truthful, honest and just.
Woman:We all have deep respect for our lawyers.
Taras:I am very glad I’ll become one of those who stand on guard of the rightsof our people, on guard of law and order.
