[quote=Anonymous]I am an ex-lawyer married to a lawyer so I am probably more understanding about his work schedule since I've done it myself. Legal work such as drafting motions and agreements are really time consuming and detail-oriented. There are no shortcuts - the amount of time one spent on a work product is always reflected on the product. Also, for a law firm, the attorneys are basically selling their time and it's a client-based business so the attorneys have to move fast to keep the clients happy, so meet the court deadlines for litigators. I put up with my spouse's work hours frankly because the money was good (big firm) but now that he has moved in-house, we are all generally much happier. Unfortunately there aren't as many opportunities for in-house for litigators; government seems to be the in-house equivalent for litigators but of course the money isn't as good.

Just something to consider, that he is doing all the long hours because he really has no choice. I don't know one single attorney at a law firm, whether big or small, that does not work long hours, and I know a lot of attorneys. [/quote]
