Time Reporting
For anyone in a position (whether paid or unpaid) that
requires you to submit time reports to a supervising person or body, please
make sure to report your time adequately and in a timely manner. Failure
to properly report time can lead to discipline from the supervising body or
person. In addition, the supervising body may report such failures to the
Board of Law Examiners, which can lead to the Board’s refusal to grant your bar
license. Thus, always be meticulous and accurate with your time
reporting.
