Colorado Supreme Court Well-Being Recognition Program  

The billable hour has long shaped law firm economics, professional expectations, and lawyer well-being—for better and for worse. This program examines how the traditional billable-hour model impacts stress, burnout, equity, career satisfaction, and client service, and explores emerging alternatives that promote both profitability and human sustainability. 

Participants will learn about innovative time-tracking approaches, value-based pricing, outcome-oriented metrics, and hybrid compensation models that reward quality, efficiency, collaboration, and well-being—not overwork. Through examples from forward-thinking firms and practical tools for organizational change, this session will help leaders envision healthier cultures of productivity, rethink how success is measured, and design systems that support thriving legal professionals and stronger client relationships.
