Speaker 1
My sister and I are partners and we love our job.
Speaker 2
My sis is married and just had a baby! My first nephew!

Speaker 2
Sometimes. What genre do you like? I like anything but horror.

Speaker 1
My sister and I just bought a new house to renovate, do you own a house?
Speaker 2
That sounds amazing. I would love to be able to do that in my life, I’m hoping to buy a house next year. Are you looking forward to do the renovations?
Speaker 1
Yes! I enjoy renovating, and you can turn a nice profit on it if you're efficient. Are you hoping to buy a house after law school?
Speaker 2
Yeah renovating is a lot of fun. I enjoy seeing the before and afters. Yeah some people make a ton of money. Yeah once I have a stable job buying a house is what I will be focused on. 
Speaker 1
Excellent, I'm happy to hear that. What do you have loans out on now?
Speaker 2
Just for my schooling I had a scholarship for most of my classes but I decide I would do extra so had to pay myself. But just want to be able to be in a better situation for eventually getting a lawyer career. 
Speaker 1
That's a great idea. When I was younger, I always considered becoming a lawyer, but decided to go into real estate instead. What draws you to law?
Speaker 2
Either one is a great career choice. I just want to help protect people that are innocent. My family member got wrongly convicted and eventually the evidence proved it, so I want help people in the same situation. 
Speaker 1
Oh no! I'm glad the evidence eventually came out in favor of your family, though. That's great that you want to help other people who are in trouble. What were the charges?
Speaker 2
It was for multiple  burglaries in our area. He just happened to have some similar features to who people saw. But he lost 2 years of his life. And there is people that have been in jail for much longer who are actually innocent, it can just take a long time to prove it. 
Speaker 1
That's true. I read an article about someone who was exonerated after their death recently, which was very sad. I hope you can really make a difference in a system that's sometimes inaccurate
Speaker 2
Yeah it’s so sad that actually happens more frequent than people even realise. A lawyer that came into my class the other day literally had enough evidence on the day of the person execution. And the person had like 30 minutes left but now they are out living the rest of their lives.

Speaker 1
How are your classes going this week?  It must be hard to be in law school while also working.
Speaker 2
You need discipline to make it work. I have a strict schedule. It must be the same with 2 children. 
Speaker 1
Yes, when the children were young it did require a strict schedule. Now they're able to look after themselves more thankfully.
Speaker 2
But, you surely have a schedule for your renovations ? I 
Speaker 1
The renovations on the house my sister and I own can fit in with the rest of my life quite ok. We don't have a strict schedule for that though obviously we want the work to be finished soon.
Speaker 2
That is great, I suppose I ma not are organized as you, without a schedule, I would never finish my projects. What are you renovating at your sister's house ?
Speaker 1
No, I think you're more organized than me to work and study law! We own the house together and we're just going to strip everything out a wall, put in an extensions. Really make it beautiful. Maybe will be a holiday house.
Speaker 2
What kind of foundation will the extension have ?
Speaker 1
The foundations are actually all already in place, basically a hardcore foundation.
Speaker 2
Oh, Ok, and how mush it will cost ? 
Speaker 1
I can't really say for sure now. For us as you know it's not all finalized. We're just gradually working away at it. I'm guessing about 200000, but that's just a very rough estimate.
Speaker 2
I wish I had that kind of money to pay for my education and not relying on loans. Did you take a loan for your renovations ?

Speaker 1
What area of law are your classes in right now?  Are they in the area of focus you want to practice in or just required?
Speaker 2
It's the required bits, I know you wanted to be a lawyer what kind did you want to be?
Speaker 1
I wanted to be a public defender.  I think it's important everyone has representation when being charged with a crime.
Speaker 2
I know, my family has had some problems with the law and I need to make sure I can defend them.
Speaker 1
It's crazy to think there are innocent people sitting in prison right now.  I'm rooting for you to get your law degree and make a difference in society.  When do you expect to be finished with your schooling?
Speaker 2
I have a few years left I spent too much time working and neglected some classes. How's your renovations going?
Speaker 1
It's going great.  Just have a few finishing touches to make.  I think you'll really enjoy the house hunting process when you decide to buy one yourself.
Speaker 2
I don't know, I'll need some help for you maybe you can give me a deal?
Speaker 1
I can certainly help you find the home of your dreams.  What is your ideal house and neighborhood?
Speaker 2
I'll have to be in the city since I'll be at the court house often. I'd like to walk to work. I don't think there will be many options.
Speaker 1
You'd be surprised.  I'll keep your interest in mind for when you're ready to make the plunge.
Speaker 2
If we do it without a real estate agent we'd both save money right?

My house should be in town and nearby court.
Speaker 1
I saw a rental house. It will be very suitable for you. It is near the court.
Speaker 2
Not too expensive I hope!  I've got tons of debt remember!
Speaker 1
No, it's not too expensive. However, it is a bit of a fixer upper. You would definitely need to do some repairs before you move in. However, you have an expert like me to help you out! 
Speaker 2
I could use some DIY instruction, that's for sure!  I couldn't ask you to work for free.
Speaker 1
I couldn't take any money! I want you to be able to pay off your debts without worrying. Plus, this is my passion. I am already thinking up a bunch of ideas. What color walls do you like?
Speaker 2
Thanks so much, but I'd help out as much as I'm able!  I like soft pastels, blues and yellows mostly. 
Speaker 1
That's perfect. The living room would look beautiful with a soft blue, and yellow is a perfect color for the kitchen. I can't wait to show you the place! It's also in an ideal location. Perfect for a future lawyer.
Speaker 2
I still wouldn't want you to neglect your super-cute addition!  Is the exterior framing and drywalling done yet?
Speaker 1
Yeah, I worked tirelessly on it because I was so eager to get to the next stage. I can't slow down. I'm already planning my next project in my head.
Speaker 2
If you need the electrical wiring done, my brother got his certificate while he was doing time up-state.  He'll do it for half the usual rate I'm sure!
Speaker 1
Wow, that would be incredible! He'll come in handy when we are working on your place too.
Speaker 2
I was thinking the same!  He sometimes has trouble getting work because of that bogus charge!
