  1. A court schedule lists 12 cases per day. If a judge works 4 days per week for 40 weeks per year, how many cases does the judge hear per year?

    Answer: 1,920

    12 × 4 × 40 = 1,920 cases per year.

  2. A law firm has a target of billing $50,000 per month. In January, they billed $44,000. By what percentage did they miss their target?

    Answer: 12%

    Shortfall = 6,000; percentage = (6,000 / 50,000) × 100 = 12%.

  3. A paralegal must photocopy 480 pages. The copier prints 20 pages per minute. How many minutes will it take?

    Answer: 24 minutes

    480 ÷ 20 = 24 minutes.

  4. Three lawyers share an office rental cost of $3,600 per month. One lawyer uses 50% of the space and the other two share the rest equally. How much does each of the two smaller-share lawyers pay?

    Answer: $900

    Large-share lawyer pays 50% = $1,800; remaining $1,800 is split 2 ways = $900 each.

  5. A statute comes into force 90 days after Royal Assent on 1 January. On what date does it come into force?

    Answer: 1 April

    January has 31 days (30 remaining after day 1), February 28 days, and March 31 days: 30 + 28 + 31 = 89; add 1 more day = 1 April.

  6. A client pays a £5,000 retainer. Work billed so far totals £3,750. What percentage of the retainer remains?

    Answer: 25%

    Remaining = 5,000 − 3,750 = 1,250; percentage = (1,250 / 5,000) × 100 = 25%.
