“The client has authorized 3 hours of billable research and 1 billable hour for writing the memo, that should be MORE than sufficient to research the position of each circuit on this asinine issue that I thought of at 3AM this morning because I couldn’t sleep so I thought of ways to ruin your life instead!!!! Xoxo managing partner.”

peoples idea about how long it should take to write a research memo, vs their expectation of what a research memo should look like, are truly hilarious. I've got an endless one now (complicated tax issues); client isn't quite that precious (and supervising attorney isn't unreasonable), but the tradeoff in thoroughness and professionalism vs cost management is still a real struggle.
