Question of the Week

We want to hear from you

A Michigan lawyer reported in a survey conducted by the publishers of American Lawyer that he billed 3,600 hours last year. What's the most you've ever billed or worked in a year? Would you do it again? Answer in the comments.

Read the answers to last week's question: Do you read novels?

Featured answer:

Posted by Bradford P: "I read a lot of novels as well as biographies and history, But the one book I have read time and time again is W. Somerset Maugham's The Razor's Edge, in which the lead character upon a return from spending time with a guru in India says: 'If you throw a stone in a pond, the universe is not the same as it was before.' That concept has affected my life since I was a teenager. I have used it in numerous speeches over the years and written about it. I hope when I die, they will say about me: 'He tried to make a difference.'"
