All kidding aside, perhaps it's more the problem of your firm's policies than the billable hour itself. I already follow Carolyn. She's great. Thanks.

Sure, the billable hour may work in other contexts, but that's not our background or our audience. I'm actually on the client side right now, so finding a better solution isn't ridiculous to me. Carolyn Elefant writes extensively about solo practice and small firms. You should definitely check out her blog if that's your area of interest. <a href="http://www.myshingle.com/" target="_blank">http://www.myshingle.com/</a> Thanks for the feedback.

Isaacs Sun, 01 Mar 2009 14:17:23 +0000 http://lawshucks.com/?p=926#comment-302 First off, you guys at BigLaw forget that most firms aren't BigLaw and never need to take 12 hour road-trips where we lodge in fancy hotels with free breakfast. I apply the billable hour at my 2-person firm. There is no better method. Period. Sure, democracy sucks too. But does that mean we start re-thinking communism? Come on now, let's put this ridiculous topic behind us and find something legit to blog about.
