August 22, 2007, 01:47 AM posted in General DiscussionBeing that ChinesePod listens so much to user feedback, I thought I'd go ahead and ask if you all could make an elementary or lower intermediate lesson about lawyers and law school.
*Just a suggestion* Maybe something like...
-What kind of work do you do?
--I'm a lawyer.
-Really? Where did you go to law school?
--Georgia State University in the U.S.
-Interesting. Why do you think the U.S. have so many lawsuits compared to China?
--Well, one reason is because we have so many lawyers, and it's really easy to sue.
-Ohhhhh.
*end of podcast*

August 22, 2007, 02:04 AMFor what it's worth, VOA (Voice of America) has a weekly segment called "法律窗口" in its broadcast schedule, see http://www.voanews.com/chinese/program_schedule.cfm . It aims to explain aspects of the US legal system to Chinese listeners, so it's at advanced or media level. For instance, one recent weekly segment was about the "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" Supreme Court case. But your idea is an interesting one. In addition to Peter the Canadian businessman, we could follow the misadventures of Wally the American lawyer.
