Do you bill the client for emails sent internally to partners/other associates/paralegals when discussing an assignment for that client? I.e asking a paralegal to make a revision, or asking a partner a question as it relates to completing that assignment?

Yes. I add it to the time spent drafting/reviewing/whatever the assignment is.

Correct

You may enter the time if you’re directed to, but there’s 0 chance that should make it into a bill sent to a client

Not true. As mentioned above, bill it to the task you are working on as mentioned above

like

Only as part of the main assignment. Clients hate paying for internal meetings, emails, discussions etc. and some billing guidelines even forbid it.

You’ll suffer so much more (stress, drama, get yelled at by well you know) if you do not see all things you do are billable when you are thinking you are billing. Yeah if you are thinking not billing then you need to change what you are thinking and how you need to be billing. Good luck!

The amount of people, even attorneys, who can't separate out the policy merits of abortion from the issue of whether it is a constitutional right is disappointing. I consider myself pro-choice ---I believe states should allow it, that the federal government can pass a statute to guarantee it, and that FDA statutes and regulations will preempt any state trying to ban chemical abortions through FDA approved drugs. Dobbs at its core is a case about the Due Process Clause, not the policy of abortion
