NPR Bashes Billable Hour

By Patrick J. Lamb

   On its November 21, 2008 broadcast, NPR's Day To Day program ran a story on the looming demise of the billable hour.  You can hear the story here.  own Nicole Auerbach is quoted at length, along with Susan Hackett, the General Counsel of Association of Corporation Counsel and Steven Williams of Corporate Executive Board.

Each time a person stands up for an ideal,
or acts to improve the lot of others...
he [or she] sends forth a tiny ripple of hope,
and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring,
those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

Robert F. Kennedy (1925 - 1968)
