4.1: As a young associate in a law firm, I might be tempted to exaggerate my billable hours by saying that more than one person was working on the project. I might also include the hours that were spent to develop the background required to work on a client’s case into the billable hours, despite the fact that there is an understanding that this practice would not be done. Spending time on non-legal  matters pertaining to the case might be another way I would exaggerate my billable hours.
