BEC情景对话：Lawyers

Dialogue 1

M:  I can't believe it,  Handcup Marketing's lawyer just served us with papers,  they are suing us for breaching contract on the Anderson's account. 

F:  Did you get it into our legal counsel Mr Devis? He knows about this,  right?

M:  Yes,  as soon as I got notice,  I contacted him right away,  he's supposed to be coming into office now. 

F:  When is the hearing scheduled?

M:  In two weeks' time.  I hope that Mr Devis has time to make a good defense. 

F:  Perhaps it wont't even make it to trial,  if we're lucky,  the judge would dismiss the case in the prenominated hearing,  that would save us a fortune in legal fees. 

M:  If it does go to trial,  I'm afaid the prosecution would have a head day marking our company through the press,  there could be a lot stake.  Where is Mr Devis?

F:  I'm sure he's on his way,  maybe he's rounding up some witnesses for us now. 

Dialogue 2

M:  Miss Hubble,  as your legal counsel,  I want to advise you against making any statements to the press about the trial,  it could be very damaging to our case. 

F:  Mr Lawrence,  I appreciate your advice,  I know you're good lawer,  but I want to prove to the people I'm innocent. 

M:  Talking to the press won't prove anything,  proving your innocent is my job,  we can work up good case to withstand the prosecution,  other than a few witnesses who gave comforting tesimonies,  they don't have any substential evidence against you. 

F:  Do I have to take the stand tommorrow?

M:  Yes,  you're scheduled to take this stand,  remember,  you will be under oath,  be careful not to make any misstatements,  they could ditch you for perjury. 

F:  Do you think it's a fair jury?

M:  The jury seems fine,  we have a fighting chance to win this thing,  just remember to give your testimony,  just the way we went over it.
