I have been planning to write on litigators' workloads for a considerable time. It is an important issue and, as far as I can tell, very little is written about it. The issue is a fundamental one. What is the appropriate number of cases for a litigator to be handling at any one time to be able to (...
I work it less than 1 min per day per case based on a 38 hour week spread over 5 days (7.6 hours per day or 456 mins/500 cases).
If not crazy enough, that doesn’t take into account that the handler would probably have a turnover of cases so could be dealing with significantly more cases over 12 months.
