'I spend about half of my time in my office, and the other half in court. I don't have customers. I have clients. They come to me with legal problems and I represent them. Its a very demanding job, because you feel responsible for what happens to your clients, but it's also very satisfying. One of my clients was recently arrested for a crime he hadn't committed, and I was able to persuade the police they'd made a mistake. It's a great feeling helping people when they're in trouble.

'Many people think that this is an easy job, but in fact it can get very tiring and lonely. You're often away from your family for long periods of time - maybe two or three weeks, if you have to go to Germany or somewhere. That can be difficult. I do love it, though. I like being on the road behind the wheel, and being able to look down on all the cars. But it's a pain when you have to unload all the boxes and stuff at the end of the journey. Still, its all part of the job.'

'Well, I used to work for a tabloid, but now I work for a more serious paper. I generally write two or three pieces a day. You really have to keep up with current affairs in this job, though. I'm often going to press conferences and interviewing politicians and famous people, so I have to know what questions to ask. The most satisfying thing is seeing my name in print above a story. I look at it and think, 'I wrote that yesterday, and today millions of people are reading it.' Amazing!'

'People have this image of us being very boring and old-fashioned, but I don't think that's true at all. Where I work, it's often very lively and interesting and, these days, people don't have to whisper all the time. Kids are welcome, and it's a very friendly place. Of course, you couldn't do this job if you didn't love books. I adore literature, and it's great being in an environment where everyone around you also gets pleasure from it. I think we provide a very valuable service to the public. People can borrow books from us which they would never be able to afford to buy for themselves.'
