6.30-8.00 AM: Drafting/reviewing drafts of pleadings that need to go out to the client during the day.
9-10.30 AM: 2-3 conferences. Prepare for Court. This is crazy hour. Depending on the conferences and requirements of the matter, could be many last minute details and items required for Court.
10.30 AM - 4.30 PM: Court hours. Sometimes very heavy substantive hearings throughout. Sometimes there is an interregnum during which one can head back to office and finish reading, research and drafting.
4.30 PM - 5.00 PM: down time.
5.00 PM - 8 PM: a mix of conferences, debating with our counsels, reading, research, drafting.
8 PM - 9/9.30 PM: further work depending on the exigences of the next day.
Yes it's a demanding life. But the rewards are as none other. Would not trade this for anything.
