Are firms observing July 4 Today?
Title is self-explanatory. I'm sure a lot of attorneys are working, but I'm wondering if firms are officially open (i.e. staff is working, answering calls, etc.).

Of course, as you note, the office being closed is different from attorneys not working. I am pretty sure the only holiday I have never done any work on over the course of my career is Christmas. The rest are hit and miss depending on what has been going on.

I just finished a solid day of 9 hours billed, on a day our firm is officially off on holiday. So, yep, NYC Big Law doing NYC Big Law things.
