How much time does a lawyer actually spend in the court room?
More specifically, how much time does a real estate/construction lawyer or a family lawyer spend in the court room? Thanks to everyone who answers!
Not very long. But if it’s only 10 minutes, they will still charge you for the hour, plus travel time, air, water, thoughts, ………etc.

As an American expat lawyer with Spanish residency, I assure you it's not always that great. Sure, some people go home and sleep, but if you live half an hour a way, do you really want to spend 2 hours of each day in the Metro just to have an hour break anyway?
Most people in countries with longer lunch breaks (especially in Spain, where being at the office is better for your career than actually doing something while at the office) that are professionals only take about an hour of their 2 hour break. I take all of it because, well, I can.
When I lived in Barcelona I used to wear board shorts under my suit and go to the beach and have a sandwich (amb tumaca) and head back to the office after getting golden brown (not guiri pink).
Now in Madrid, I'm one of those individuals who lives 30 minutes from my firm and, since I can't nap in my office (Torquemada might assign me another task if I'm actually here), I go to the gym. So, I guess I'm more productive but no napping. Oh wait, I do that in the office after going to the gym during my siesta. Ah, Spain.

I wonder what the Harvard Law Review was like during his years?
Katiebird,
It's late getting this info to you, but an interesting tale from Vanity Fair.
He became the president of the Harvard Law Review not because he had the best grades (though he had good ones) but because he won the trust of both conservative and liberal factions in an arena in which the arguments were passionate because the stakes were so small.
And…
In his second year, he ran for president of the Law Review, and after a marathon voting session was elected on the 19th ballot, as an overt compromise candidate.
Nancy McCullough, an entertainment lawyer in Los Angeles, was a year behind Obama at Harvard and recalls him as “someone who wanted the group decisions to reflect the group’s intent, not Barack’s intent. One of the reasons people were comfortable putting him in the presidency was because he was going to listen closely enough that, whatever decisions had been made, people would know that he had [listened]. He was masterful in how he facilitated people’s talking.
“I actually would have been happier for him to say sometimes, ‘This is how we’re doing this, and shut up!’ ”
