Practice Management

Real lawyers practice law.

By Dan Hull

We got a profession for you right here. See Scott Greenfield's "Waiting For The Checks To Roll In", commenting on the WSJ Mark Penn piece declaring that "blogging is the newest profession". Greenfield excerpt:

They [pro bloggers] work long hours? Again, I'm not quite impressed. Working 50 to 60 hours might some like a great burden to some, but most lawyers consider that half time. We work as long as we need to work, and then we work a little more to make sure our work is done right.

Special editor's note: For readers under 35, Greenfield is a trial lawyer who simply hasn't yet heard that hard and careful work has gone out of style--so cut him a break. Pretty weird, though, eh?
