RETURN TO IN-PERSON HEARINGS A BAD IDEA – These same considerations apply to criminal law lawyers. I do not want to go back to sitting in court or in a hallway or in the lawyers’ lounge from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. to have my 15 minutes in court. How do I justify charging my client for a day of counsel fee when I only worked 15 minutes? How do I survive in business if I only bill for those 15 minutes? Now that we have escaped that, I will not go back.
