How many hours does a lawyer work in a week?In: Law and Legal Issues, Jobs |
[Edit] |
Answer
That would depend on the lawyer, the type of law he's practicing and his employer. I would doubt that any lawyer "only" works 40 hours a week and some may work around the clock or 80 hours a week. But there's no set time frame that's standard for lawyers.
Answer
There are way to many variables to give a precise answer. To get some idea of the amount of time an attorney spends at their profession, you would need to know what type of law is practiced, if they have their own practice, work for a firm, work for a state, federal or government agency, corporate business, non-profit organization and so on and so on. My own week can be the average 40 hrs. or 60+ hours, depending upon the case load and court schedules.
