Narrator: The solicitor says why he thinks thefts occur, and then he gives his views on violence.

Solicitor: In thefts I would say that the strongest motive is not to work.

Oh, and very often there is drinking with the theft...

Interviewer: Could you give an example?

Solicitor: They leave the pub, they go out, they see а house which is in darkness with а couple of milk bottles on the doorstep, they think, "Right, we'll do that house and get а bit more beer money for tomorrow."

Interviewer: What about violence, it's one thing easy to explain.

Solicitor: I have very often found this. There is а pattern here too, especially the juvenile offenders, broken homes...

Interviewer: You mean they соme from broken homes...

Solicitor: Yes, from broken homes, or large, unhappy, rather poor families.

Mr Brown - the manager; Mr Daley – the lawyer

Mr Brown: I’m very much interested in legal profession but I don’t understand how lawyers practice their profession.

Mr Daley: I quite agree with you that the quality is the main thing in every kind of activity. Our specialists must be highly qualified. We have different seminars on legal matters and many of our lawyers attend Continuing Legal Education programmes. This also improves the quality of legal service.

Mr Brown: Now I see. It is really possible to find certain similarity in our professions. And it is really interesting to discuss the problems like this one with you, Mr Daley.

Mr Daley: We don’t produce products but we have also to work on the quality of legal service. We do our best to meet our clients’ needs.

Mr Brown: Oh, really? You see, we produce different products and there are always problems connected with the production and so on.

Mr Brown: I can’t catch your idea. When working we try to improve the quality of our goods etc. What do you do that is equivalent?

Mr Daley: I believe our profession is very much like yours as a whole.
