So, here's a bit more fun from the sleazy lawyers at Lisa's company. First of all, they hired Lisa in the capacity of a "billing paralegal," which ended up meaning no paralegal work, all billing. And billing meant mostly collections. They wanted to make everyone in billing work until 7PM every week to call people who hadn't paid their bills in 5 days. 5 days! Most places don't get huffy for more like 30 days.
They actually wanted her to implicitly threaten one client that "they got them out of jail, they can put them back in!"
Also, bills would come back from the managing partner with corrections - which meant he added time to the partner's bills to increase the total billed time.
