Yeah I know a guy irl who's training to be a lawyer and he says that in companies he's been at its apparently the norm to work roughly 300 hours or so a month
12 hours a day, 6 days a week, 4 weeks a month works out to 288 hours, so yeah that sounds about right for some of these places.
Not uncommon for a first year associate to bill out enough to cover their entire yearly salary in the first quarter and the rest of the year is just profit for the firm.
