One is we continue to be concerned about the devastatingly low utilization rate we see in the legal profession which is
on average around 25 % which means that the average lawyer, if they're
working an average eight - hour
workday is actually only getting around two and a quarter
billable hours out the door everyday which just makes the economics of running a law firm very, very challenging.
NALP's most - recent information
on billable hours shows the average
billable hours hovers around 1,800 per year, or about 7.2 hours per
workday, if you
work five days a week and take two weeks off.
