JA for sure, but depends on the team structure and paralegal I think. Sometimes I do it, but it just depends on workload, timings etc

I would say JA but kinda depends on who made the ask of the para. If it was SA, then maybe it’s unclear.

JA always

At our firm it would usually be the JA unless they dont' have time, are in trial, etc. and then sometimes the SA will take a look at it. But its usually the JA that takes the first cracks.

Men: What does this mean? Been seeing him for a month. Asked if he is still seeking out other women. He said no and that he has been enjoying my company. I told him I don’t plan on seeing anyone else and he said the same. He brought up that he wants a serious relationship with me but feels he can’t right now because of a demanding new job. I told him I don’t want to rush into anything serious. He acts very couple-like when we see each other. I am not sure how to interpret this.

Serious billing question - if during the course of the day, you first receive an email from Client A at say 11:10am and you read it, you then respond to it at 12:20pm. You get another email at 2pm from Client A and respond immediately. The next email comes in at 4pm, you read it and respond only at 4:30pm. None of the email responses take more than 3-5mins. You are working on matters for other clients at all other times during the day. How much are you billing for Client A?
