A 40 Hour Day
The Illinois ARDC has filed a complaint alleging dishonest billing practices against an attorney who represented indigent respondents in juvenile justice and child protection matters. For the first half of 2006, the accused allegedly sought payments totaling $350,000, claiming he had worked over 20 hours a day on 90 different days. Many days he claimed to have worked more than 24 hours in a single day-- with the most "productive" day being March 15, 2005--a 40 hour day that included 14.5 hours of in-court time. Beware the Ides of March. (Mike Frisch)
