X***P 发帖数: 3230 | 11 I don't think there is any difference between IP litigation and general
commercial litigation in terms of hours one has to work. As patent
prosecution, it is a dying practice at big law because of the small profit
margin, especially during/after this recession.

"As patent prosecution, it is a dying practice at big law "
very disapointing.

C*****8 发帖数: 122 | 13 most biglaws only take patent prosecution as a way to lure in more lucrative
litigation work. the prosecution part is almost certainly losing money.
so yes, it's true if your goal is to work for biglaw.

It depends. Sometimes, you may finish 5-hour work in an hour.

x*********6 发帖数: 3610 | 15 貌似是往死里累。其实律师hourly pay并不高 |
j****i 发帖数: 496 | 16 Of course there are. Law school gives you choices. Most people on this
board choose $$$ upon their graduation. But there is a spectrum of choices
out there offering different pay, work hours, and job satisfactions. You
can certainl pick one that fits you best.
I work from 8:30am to 5:30pm and usually bill 7-7.5 hrs everyday. I rarely
work on weekends and I take 4-6 weeks of vacation every year. And I happily
take a 20% paycut from the ongoing biglaw market rate. This is just a
sample tast

j****i 发帖数: 496 | 18 20% makes a lot of difference. 1600 billable hrs per year makes a very
comfortable living. I also see someone doing 60% or 70%, but most choose to
do 80%.

e********e 发帖数: 6961 | 19 有活干,又有deadline的话,连着几天不睡都正常。要是没活干的话,天天到点就下班
也正常。我觉得transaction lawyer,就是“忙时忙死,闲时闲死”。

i****y 发帖数: 5184 | 20 平均的话是肯定是不到的,但超过12小时这样的日子也是有的(20%-30%?)
好处是闲的时候可以有很幸福的日子,度假,锻炼,在家种花种草随便你,缺点是这些
个日子何时出现基本不是你决定的。
