Ref Docs

VP's Levee Counsel in 1997.
Ms Butler's billing
format has been changed to avoid scrolling miles here. Within
brackets below are initials other than KLB's, apparently denoting a
different atty's work; names will be posted when found, but
regardless, the charge is $90/hr on invoices posted thus far. Hours spent
follow an = symbol after each description
here. As on the hardcopies, tenths of hours (x 6 = # of mins) are
shown here. The $1K Retainer Fee listed in "Staff
Requests & General
Matters" bills is included in the total hourly $ amt of those bills,
but the hrs listed with the Retainer are not included with the total hrs
of those bills. Any MOPR
notes within posted invoices have double parentheses.
