Make sure you add that into the billable hours, and it becomes recursive inifite billable time.

Mr. Nice! posted:Won my hearing! Congrats! I'm glad this was in the back of my mind because today while I was doing the new arrest arraignments, my boss tosses a file on the counsel's table and says "I don't want to wait around, cover this for me" and peaces out the courtroom. I open it and its an early termination hearing for a felon in possession gun charge. (It went fine, the guy was cool).

Is there any academic value to the federalist society or are they just early advertising by the heritage foundation? I'll listen to the answer off air!

They had more validity before they let originalism be the only acceptable conservative jurisprudence.

The really big associate billers are basically cash cows for the partnership. Take 2800 hrs x $800/hr minus whatever fraction they write off (not as much as you'd suspect) and it becomes pretty apparent why they're willing to pay them so "generously" at $330,000 or whatever. Plus associates barely use resources these days. They just do everything themselves and bill for it while the legal assistant is busy booking the partner's sixth vacation.

I bill 180-200 pretty regularly at a fairly small firm and it doesn’t even seem like that much. Like I would be billing 220 a month if I wanted to feel like I wasn’t always behind the work I need to do I’d rather just be behind tho so. I’d also rather be being 200 a month than working 80 hours a week at $11/hr or whatever the other 80% of my generation does

I'm jealous that you get to eat with your kid twice a day. On weekdays I pretty much just get to say good night when I get home. (Even then, I have late meetings that cause me to miss that too). Spending time with my kids is the best part of my day and definitely the best part of my weekends.

Aren’t you the guy that works out twice a day? Maybe do that less? Or build a home gym at least poo poo (Sorry in advance if I got the wrong guy)

Yuns posted:Lol if you think our realization on associate time is anywhere close to 100%. Time and billing get written off all the time. There's the time lawyers bill then we have to review the bill and write off time then it goes to the client who asks for additional discounts on top of their negotiated rates or sends the bill to their internal review teams to dispute items or takes their sweet time paying it. There's loss at every step of the process until payment shows up in the firm account. Some partners work every second of every day. Others allegedly work a lot but are also essentially never in the office and if they are then it's from 11am-5pm. This is just at my firm though.

Geez, you are all a pit of sadness. I make enough money and more importantly have time to use it. Ask me about month long vacations with no cell phone or email. I'm pretty sure that per hour I do better than any associate and many partners.
