Re: Chicago Midlaw
I think there is a disconnect where OP is talking about WORKING 60 hours a week and others are talking about BILLING 60 hours a week. In my biglaw experience, these are very different things.

No. Billing 60 hours a week would add up to 2880 billables even with 4 weeks of vacation. That's not the expectation in biglaw.blurbz wrote:I think there is a disconnect where OP is talking about WORKING 60 hours a week and others are talking about BILLING 60 hours a week.

Re: Chicago Midlaw
Right. Which is why people are saying billing 60 isn't a normal week. I'm in biglaw, if I averaged 60 billables / week, I'd have quit long ago. I think we agree and I just wasn't clear in my original post.DELG wrote:No. Billing 60 hours a week would add up to 2880 billables even with 4 weeks of vacation.
