I've always been really interested in the law. In fact am so fascinated I became a lawyer! Not for long, mind you. Do you work in the legal profession?
Yes i do.  i practice law as a criminal defense attorney.
At School criminal law was my favorite subject. We did have a brilliant professor who made it all so interesting. And good for you - everyone deserves representation.
As a criminal defense attorney, my specialty is defending accused criminals and protecting their rights.  after all, everyone is innocent until proven guilty.
Indeed they are. How long have you been practicing?
Just since this morning.  We are lucky in the USA.  In some countries when someone is charged with a crime, they are immediately sentenced with no trial and no rights.
Gosh, first day huh - good luck in your future. Yes, we are very lucky that we have a judicial system, even if it seems somewhat stacked at times.
Well, even in a court of law, Luck, or the probability of positive or negative event, still plays a factor.
True enough. Is the legal system in this country based on English law? I studied in Scotland, which has quite different laws.
Yes, laws vary around the world, but luckily for me, most of my clients have an optimism bias.  That is, they believe that by having me as their lawyer, they are less likely to experience a negative outcome.
