DRAFTING MEMO RE: PORN--7 HOURS: Sadly, The American Lawyer is not fully online, so I can't link to the short piece on page 25 of the July 2004 issue that provides actual billing entries from Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison's representation of artist Jeff Koons in connection with his divorce from porn star Ilona Stadler. I can note that the headline is just one of many examples given in the article of billing entries that boggle the mind. Others include:

"Organized Exhibits, Reviewed Pornography, 8.5 hours."
"Reviewed Pornography, prepared 'best of' book, 12 hours."

And to think we got told when I started that "document review, 12 hours" wouldn't cut it for timesheet purposes.
