[blindlaw] Private firms/Billable Hours

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

There are various billing programs out there that address this issue. As a 
paralegal while I haven't been directly involved with this issue for some 
time I found that some of these programs were accessible with screen reading 
software when testing them several years ago when I was in paralegal school. 
The question here is what billing program is the firm in question using to 
keep track of its hours. Most of the manufacturers will provide trial 
versions so you can explore the accessibility of the programs with screen 
reading or other types of adaptive software.

Hello All,



As a 3L student at the University of Mississippi Law School and working at a
defense firm last summer. Could anyone comment on if they work at a firm
that uses the billable hour format and what techniques and equipment they
use in their office to make things more efficient completing their task?



I was told I do excellent work but because of my “Capability” and alterative
techniques I am not appealing to a firm that uses the billable hour system.
Therefore, I should apply for a government position or maybe a firm that is
plaintiff oriented.
