Demo shows billing 2 minutes work as 0.2 hours = 12 minutes.

No wonder lawyers have such fancy suits and a reputation for overcharging :)

Hahaha well said. It's a sped up workflow, so this would be very uncommon in the wild. But great observation ;)

That's actually a pretty serious error. It's what we would generally call "billing fraud" and lawyers have lost their licenses and gone to prison for that sort of thing.

(It's also the basis for the book/movie "The Firm.")
