You’re going to get a lot of jokes here. The real answer is it depends on the office, and that only goes so far. As a whole, I wouldn’t rank diversity high on JD’s big picture priority list.

Serious answer: some offices are trying, and some groups are okay to work with. I have colleagues who seem genuinely happy at JD (or maybe they’re good at hiding the Stockholm Syndrome). But the black box compensation system still results in a lot of mistrust and I’ve heard through the grapevine that despite the lawsuits and the scrutiny on that system, anyone who isn’t a straight white male still gets shafted by that process.

If you don’t have 8 hours of billable time a day, do you leave as is or do you fill in the gap with non-billable work? While I am in the office, I don’t always get the billable amount since I don’t have enough work. Seems like a waste of time to enter non-billable time just to fill in the gap but I also don’t want them to think I am not there and slacking off.

What’s the norm?

Why are the expectations on billable hours so extreme on lawyers? Consulting, accounting and other comparable jobs, apart from investment bankers, are way below lawyers.

And it’s not that lawyers won’t make enough money if they work less - reduce hours by 10% and you’d still be making fortunes as a partner and a small fortune as an associate.
