The Math Did Not Add Up.
As reported recently in the on-line version of the ABA Journal, a BigLaw partner in Massachusetts was suspended for 2 years after the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court found that she had added about $216,000 in fictional billings while at Saul Ewing, even though she did excellent work. The court concluded that her explanations did not “add up”—she would have had to work 24 hours a day on 12 different dates to make the billings square, a proposition not found credible.
