<p>Hi, I am not from the US and I would like to know which days do people not go to work on? Are they Saturdays and Sundays or does this applies only to government workers? Also I would appreciate it if someone were to tell me what the situation with corporate lawyers in the US is. :)</p>
<p>The official work week for most US law firms is Mon-Fri. BUT Junior associates as high profile law firms work crazy hours, including Sat and Sun. </p>
<p>In-house counsel (attorneys who work at corporations rather than law firms) tend to have more reasonable hours but we’ve been known to put hours in well after 5pm and on Sat/Sun.</p>
