Billing Certain Tasks on Compensation Claims
It is sometimes not clear where panel attorneys should place certain tasks on compensation claims.
Time spent on a subject, whether completed or not, should be claimed on the line item of that subject. For example, preparation of oral argument should be on that line, even if the ultimate decision is to waive oral argument. Preparation for a habeas petition should be in the line for habeas petitions, even if no petition is filed.
All communication with the client and trial counsel should be on line 1, even if it is part of a habeas investigation.
