How much is not having to bill hours worth to you? If everything stayed the same, including hours worked, but you no longer needed to bill your time, how much of a pay cut would you take?

This makes no sense? If I had to work the same, Id want to be paid the same, or more.

Why should you be paid more for doing the same amount of work, but no longer having to do the mundane daily administrative exercise of justifying your existence 0.1 at a time precisely to each client's differently insane standards?

I don’t think the hours would stay the same if we no longer needed to bill.

I would take up to a 30% pay cut for that if you throw in 2 weeks of vacation time.

Advice requested: When you were a legal intern or a summer, what type of projects did you like best? What was most helpful to you when you received a new assignment? Anything you wish your mentor did/didn’t do? I’m working with my first ever intern and trying to structure projects so they know that the work is important and relevant to the business, and why, and to provide enough background info on the area of law so they don’t spin wheels on the basics. What else should I be doing?

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know.

Dobbs at its core is a case about the Due Process Clause, not the policy of abortion
