[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ Also the PPs trying to suggest your hours are not high are nuts. Non billable hours are significant, especially the more senior you get. My DH bilked the most as a mid-love associate but bills far, far, far less as a partner, because he spends so much time on client development. “Billable hours” is not a good shorthand for precisely how much someone is working. Everyone replying should take at face value OPs claim that she is drowning.[/quote]

I think most everyone can see that, except for a couple of lawyer-types who think working 60 hour weeks is slacking it.  [/quote]

But "lawyer-types" are the ones who can most accurately comment on what is considered working all the time at a [i]law firm.[/i]  Non-billable work can be substantial, but it is still true that at many firms most lawyers (at least associates) will bill more, often a lot more, than 2,100 hours.

Having all of these non-lawyers comment on whether OP's hours are a lot for law firms isn't that useful.[/quote]

What difference does it make that she happens to work at a law firm?  The whole point is that she works alot, not who her employer is.   It means that she has very little time to deal with the children and the house, let alone reserve any time to take care of herself.  The fact that its SOP for lawyers doesn't change her reality.[/quote]
