Speaking of
churning the bill,
Pointoflaw.com has a post about a case where "one attorney billed 239 hours and over $90,000 to summarize a one-day deposition transcript of under 400 pages." If the deposition were actually 24 hours-and I suspect that the deposition was probably less than half that amount of time-then the attorney spent nearly 10 hours summarizing each hour of the deposition.
Blaise Pascal wrote about
how it took longer to write a short letter than a long one. Apparently that is also true for deposition summaries.
