3. Read the text and match the words in the table: тext

It should be remarked that such notions (поняття) as «solicitor» and «barrister» are absent in Ukrainian judiciary now. It is England where «solicitors» and «barristers» operate (діяти).

Thus summing up role and significance of the lawyer's work we have to draw your attention to such a legal term as «counsel» that is widely used during a proceeding in the courtroom.

As it was previously mentioned a person accused of crime must always be supposed innocent until he has been proved guilty. During the trial the judge and the people's assessors had three stories to listen to. First there was the story told by the counsel for the prosecution, then the story told by the defending counsel (a lawyer acting for the accused), and lastly the story told by the judge (a brief account, giving the chief points). He sums up of what was said by counsel and witness. «By counsel» means the lawyers employed on either side.

5. Study the grammar material and do the exercise:

Absolute pronouns

a We also use myself, etc., in another way. For example:

■ "Who fixed your bicycle for you?" " Nobody. I fixed it myself."

I fixed it myself = I fixed it, not anybody else. We use myself here to emphasize I.

■ I'm not going to do it for you. You can do it yourself.

■ Let's paint the house ourselves. It will be much cheaper.

■ The movie itself wasn't very good, but I liked the music.

■ I don't think Tom will get the job. Tom himself doesn't think he'll get it. (or Tom doesn't think he'll get it himself.)

b By myself/yourself, etc. = alone

We say:

■ I like living by myself

■ Did you go on vacation by yourself?

■ Jack was sitting by himself in a corner of the cafe.
