My brother, early in his career, was a newly minted partner at some prestigious LA-area firm. He was told that anytime he *thought* about a case, it was billable. If he was in the shower in the morning, thinking about a client's matter, it was billable. I think that was one of the reasons he left the firm and started his own.
