348　A Lawyer's Personal Integrity 律师的个人诚实

An investment counselor realized she needed assistance, and so she began interviewing young lawyers. “As I'm sure you can understand,” she started off with the first applicants, “in a business like this, our personal integrity must be beyond question.” She leaned forward and continued, “Mr. Smith, are you an ‘honest’ lawyer?” “Honest?” replied the job prospect. “Let me tell you something about honest. Why, I'm so honest that my father lent me fifty thousand dollars for my education and I paid back every penny the minute I tried my very first case.” “Impressive. And what sort of case was that?” The lawyer squirmed in his seat and admitted, “He sued me for the money.”

一位投资顾问觉得她需要一个帮手。她开始面试一些青年律师。她对第一个应试人说：“你知道，对于我们这样的业务，我们的个人诚实必须无可挑剔。”她凑近应试人继续说：“史密斯先生，你是一个诚实的律师吗？”应试人说：“诚实？让我来告诉你我有多诚实。我父亲借给我五万美元读书，我在做第一个案子时就一分不少地全部还给他了。”“给人印象深刻。那是一个什么样的案子呢？”律师在椅子里不安地扭了一下身体，说：“他为这笔钱告我。”
