Yeah. The time accounting is pretty annoying. This is a surprisingly big part of the reason that people leave firms for in-house jobs of the government. It's a significant source of stress for a lot of lawyers. As for side projects, it's usually not law related--although there is sometimes a nexus with the legal issues I'm working on. I did a lot of coding before law school, so it's sometimes that sort of project. One common theme: the FCC actually does a pretty good job of making all of its licensing and other data publicly available, but the interfaces are clunky and the raw data comes in all sorts of different crazy formats. So I'd like to put a system together to integrate all of that elegantly, but it always winds up seeming like more than I want to take on in my free time. :) I've also been doing some homebrewing.
