THE TIME AS MEASURE OF THE REMUNERATION BY JURIDICAL WORKS 
                               
                              
                                
                                1. The legal work is a service, and, as any service, the legal  work usually is measured by the time.  
                             1.1. The quantification of the total legal fees (remuneration) of a  Proposal of Legal Services shall be made, basically, per hour of work  and, in some cases, by the profits acquired by the client with the  attorney's work, what is usual in litigation area. And, also in this  last case, the remuneration of the attorney need be measured by the  time, what is necessary to know if the spent hours are bigger or  minor than the amount received as part of the client's profits.  
                            2. But if there is a difference on the quality of an attorney  to another, how is it possible measuring, correctly, the value of a  legal service?  
                            2.1. The value of a legal service must be established according to  the time spent to develop a good work. 
                             2.1.1. Good work means  work that is sufficient to solve a real  problem, the client's problem.  
                            2.2. Consequently, if there is a difference explicit by the quality  of each professional, this difference became, by the time spent to  solve, with effectiveness, a same case,  equality.  
                            2.3. An attorney “A” that spent 10 hours, for example, to build  the Regulation of an Investment Fund is not more economically  attractive for a client than an attorney “B” that spent 5 hours  to do the same work. Efficacy is the key-word. Who has more efficacy  is more cheap for the market. If the legal fees for one hour of work  is equal for the attorneys above, the client that uses the attorney  “B” will pay, exactly, the half of the total price needed to the  attorney “A” develop the same work. Observe that the same applies  to teams of attorneys. 
                            3. And what make the attorneys be so different? The Education and  	the Experience.  By the Education, the attorney learns to use the  	reason, by the Experience, the attorney learns to work with the  	human passions.
