Emeritus Prof Christopher May

The FT is exploring the legal sector's billable hours practice(s)...

which reminds me of a joke:

At the Gates of Heaven

Lawyer: I cannot believe I'm here, I'm too young to have died

St. Peter: your time has come, my friend

Lawyer: but I'm only 43...

St. Peter, consulting a file in front of him: No, I have your billable hours here, you're clearly 87....

@ChrisMayLA6

I thought legal sector billable hours were high until the company brought in a big consultancy for a project.
