(CLP) Billable Hours

A friend of mine was once an associate at a big urban law firm, and had to account for every six minutes of her workday so it could be billed to some account. This is part of what accounts for lawyers having lower job-satisfaction ratings than almost any other profession -- apparently garbage collectors like their work more than lawyers do. A piece in this morning's New York Times addresses the problem:  http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/29/opinion/the-case-against-the-law-firm-billable-hour.html?ref=todayspaper&_r=0
