　　1. Do you think it is necessary to create a law?

　　有必要：

　　存在即是合理，人类发展已经证明

　　The development of human race has already proved that a proper and sound legal system is required to maintain social security and it is the best symbol of a modern society.

　　约束行为，维护社会秩序，惩罚恶人，震慑潜在犯罪分子，维护社会公正，促进社会和谐发展

　　If there is no deterrent force of laws and regulations, inevitably, the whole society will become chaotic or disorderly.

　　If every individual acts without considering other’s feeling, there will be much trouble, because the basic right of others can be easily violated and no one can be protected from doing so.

　　The social order can only be kept through well-rounded legal system.

　　The legal system is also contributing to the social justice and a more healthy society in the long run.

　　没有必要：

　　如果人们足够自律和受教育，可以很好的控制自己，则不需要法律来过分约束，当然，这是需要在人类发展到一定程度才可能实现的。

　　If most people are fully self-disciplined and well-educated, they can take full charge of their own behaviour and control themselves even in extreme conditions. In this sense, there is no need to establish strict laws and punishment to guide people’s behaviour. Well, this can only be achieved when human beings develop into a very advanced level, not in the present-day society.

　　2. Do you think the law is fair?

　　不公平：

　　有钱人的游戏。很多案子最后的判决，不是完全由事实决定的，而是根据双方在法庭上相互辩驳，证据的收集和呈现方式决定的。通常，只有富人可以请到最优秀的律师，收集最全面的对自己有利的证据，所以，往往是有钱人最终获得胜利。

　　I don't think law is fair in most cases. It is even sometimes described as the game of the rich people. This is mainly because the final judgment of a case is largely determined by the process of trial, in which lawyer and judge play an indispensable role. The truth is that only the more wealthy side of the case can have the financial power to hire the most experienced and well-known lawyer and it is very likely that they also have a very good relationship with the judge. I’m not saying that the final judgment is wrong, but it is conceivable that the richer can have more advantages in the case.

　　政府在制定(introduce/ devise)法律时，都是以政府的/当权者/大多数人的利益(interest)为出发点。所以，不可避免在一些特殊情况，会损害到少部分人的意见。

　　When each law is introduced in the first place, they are devised to maximize the profit of the authorities and the majority of the citizens. So, in some situations, the profit of the minority may be damaged. Also, it is almost impossible to create a perfect law that can meet the requirement of each social class. At least, it has not been created until now.

　　公平：

　　法律的制定和实施不是一两个人决定的，而是一个国家在这方面最权威有经验的专家根据综合考虑制定的，并且随着社会发展在不断完善改进。

　　The creation and implementation of a law has never been decided by only a few people, but it is done by a large number of experts and specialists in this field, with every respects taken into consideration. Besides, with the enforcement of the law, it is also being revised and more cases can be referred when the court judge the situation.

　　即使初始的时候不够全面，也会逐渐修正，总体而言是公平的。

　　Even if it was not justice and perfect when first initiated, it can be gradually modified and generally speaking, it can be regarded as a fair system.

　　3. Do we have to be punished if we don’t follow the law?

　　是的：

　　如果违反了法律，却没有受到任何惩罚，那么法律就失去了意义。人们因此会不顾法律的存在。

　　If someone violate the law without being punished, the existence of law will be defeated. In the long run, people will lose their faith in the legal system and do whatever they like according to their own will.

　　也是对潜在犯罪分子最好的震慑

　　It is also the best way to deter the potential criminals.

　　最好的修正错误的方法。

　　To correct the mistakes and be prevented from re-commit the crime.

　　对于受害者最好的抚慰

　　Solace the victims/

　　看情况：

　　年龄/动机

　　It depends on many factors, including age and motivation.

　　For some teenager criminals, who do not have the ability to distinguish right from wrong and cannot be fully aware of their own behaviour, they should be punished in a more gentle way, such as being sent to some educational courses or forced to participate in community services, instead of being sent to jail.

　　Also, if those who commit crime on the condition of being violated or being threatened with death, they should not be punished or at least the penalty should be reduced.

　　法律的社会效应：在某些特殊的案件中，需要考虑到时间的社会影响和相关历史背景

　　Sometimes, we have to take into consideration the particular historical background and social impart of some cases, especially those relating to politics and wars. It is every sensitive and complicated to make a sound judgement of who should be punished and how they should be punished. So probably, in order to maintain the stability of the society and reduce the chain effect of some events, people involving in the case can be treated lightly.

　　4. What’s the difference between a police officer and a lawyer?

　　都是法律系统中重要的两种职业。

　　Both police officers and lawyers are very important parts of the legal system.

　　警察：

　　抓坏人/嫌疑人、获取证据、社会公务员、价值中立

　　The police officers are in charge of arresting the suspect and keep the social order/ deal with emergencies and fight against social evils

　　They also have the responsibility of collecting the evidence in the case.

　　They are part of the civil service system, so they are directed work for the government, for the society and for the people. They must keep value neutrality, that is to say, they should keep as objective as they can.

　　律师：

　　一种职业、为自己的客户辩护，最大限度维护其权益

　　Lawyers, broadly speaking, are a specific type of profession. They are only the representative of their client, so no matter whom they represent in court, they have to try their best to maximize the profits of their client and try to reduce the punishment of the defendant.

　　In this sense, they are less value neutral than the police officer, but they have more decisive role to play on the final judge of each case.
