Early Morning
Lawyers are the early birds in their office or firms as that is the time when they work at their maximum
possible limit before their office or firms start officially for business. It is the time
when no disturbances are there including no phone calls nor client meetings or any meetings scheduled.
Early hours before firm opens officially is also the time when attorneys or lawyers reviews their case which is
supposed to be heard in court that day and other last minute preparations are also done then before heading
to the court.
They even do their research regarding laws and cases already decided, when preparing for a particular
case. Also, during these early morning hours ,the lawyers draft legal documents for their respective cases.
During Rest Of The Day(Business Timings)
Then , lawyers will have a number of phone calls to attend. They need to respond to messages and e-
mails and also send the same to their clients regarding status of their respective cases.
Along with , it is very crucial for attorneys or lawyers to discuss the case with the opposing lawyer or counsel
though they see each other in court . It is better to converse properly when outside court and have access to
their case files to discuss their cases .
There are days when a lawyer need not go to court then those are times when they meet the clients or make
preparations for their upcoming case or cases by drafting pleadings and also do other works related to the
hiring staff for the firm or promoting their firm by having own website or updating the website of the firm or do
search engine optimization for the website.
Also , on such days when there is no hearing court , the lawyers or attorneys may take courses to keep up
with the current trend and also as a value addition to their knowledge to maintain their position and to
upkeep it.
