A lot of firms still pay by the hour for such work, so there's little incentive for people to be more efficient at this.

Plus for people in the first few years, there's pressure to meet a billable hour quota - work like this pads the numbers.

Justin Kan created a legal business that attempted to be more efficient than a traditional law firm, but it seems that venture folded. I’d be interested in a post-morten and if he thinks there is any innovation on the current law firm business model.
