No question, it’s a busy schedule you have. As a managing partner once said, “There is always the possibility for more billable hours.” Certainly in private practice, that cloud of more potential billable hours always hovers over your head, but to some degree or other, through the years, we become accustomed to it. How you manage that pressure while maintaining a healthy life and happy family is a challenge for us all.
Is it fair to ask more of you? Maybe not—or maybe so. Pressure or not, challenges aside, we are essentially a privileged group. Better educated than most and, at least as a group, more prosperous than most, should more be expected of us? We suggest that, within limits, the answer is yes. So what is it fair to expect? Certainly civility in the practice of law and support for the justice system in which we all operate goes without saying. That should just be a part of what we believe and do every day. But there is more.
