Aug 28th 2008
From The Economist print edition
Of all the tedious tasks that lawyers have to do, timerecording is perhaps the most deadly. Private-practice
lawyers account for their time in increments of 15
minutes, or even five or six minutes at some firms, and
then send the bill to clients. This structure has been in
place for decades. But cost-cutting has put a squeeze on
companies’ legal budgets, and there is growing interest
in doing away with the “billable hour” approach in favour
of other pricing schemes.

➧ TEXTO II: Read text II and answer questions 02 to 06.
When we think about people who have law degrees,
we envision lawyers arguing cases in courtrooms full of
drama and publicity, grilling witnesses and arguing with
the judge. In reality, most lawyers, or attorneys, rarely
see the inside of a courtroom, and those that do are
typically involved in more common court proceedings
such as DWI (driving while intoxicated) and theft cases.
For every hour spent in the courtroom, many more are
spent doing research, conducting interviews, or writing
documents in preparation for litigation. Being an attorney
requires excellent communication skills, but it also
involves a great deal of paperwork and red tape. Some
people with a law degree don’t practice law at all. A law
degree opens many doors in the legal field.
What Do Lawyers Do?
Most often people with a law degree pursue careers
as lawyers. A lawyer, also called an attorney, has
extensive training to help them understand and interpret
the laws of countries, states, and municipalities. Their
primary role is to provide guidance to others in regards to
what is lawful and what the punishment should be if
someone breaks the law.
A criminal lawyer works with the court system, either
as a prosecutor who pursues charges against people and
organizations accused of breaking the law, or as a
defense attorney who helps those accused represent
themselves in the legal process. But there are many
other areas in which lawyers can specialize.
