M: Did you hear what happened in the Scott case? Some of the sensitive material were leaked to the press. Now every newspapers is all over it.

F: Oh...I bet the firm is fuming. Do they know who spilled the beans?

M: I'm sure they have their suspicions; there were only a few of the senior level lawers who were privy to the case details.

F: What kind of repercussions will there be for the people who are held responsible?

M: I'm sure there'll be canned! And there also might be some legal consequences.

F: Why would the person who told have problems with the law?

M: Because whoever let the cat out of the bag was breaking client confidentiality.

F: I didn't think about that. That's pretty serious. Are there investigators working on finding out who it was?

我确信管理部门正在积极调查此事.
