Absurd Legal Fees?

Microsoft gets a bill for $258M for legal fees. Read more here.

I haven't seen anyone discuss this on the “blawgs” yet, but I am interested to hear what they say. Sure seems a bit excessive to me...

What gets me most is the $1,000 an hour for “administrative work” (which I presume means a paralegal, etc). I know paralegals at some of the bigger firms here in NYC bill out at something like $100-$200 an hour.

Anyone read The King of Torts? :)
