'Generate business.'
Gee, go figure, we live in a litigous society thanks to folks having to make that house payment. Cases are worked and raised just to keep the billable hour count up there. Any wonder where frivolous law suits come from? They come from our system.
Here in South Texas, the ambulance chasing has reached the point to where we are losing doctors due to the inability to sustain their malpractice rates. It aint funny, at all.
My younger brother works in the City attorney's office in San Francisco, and it sounds as though he does something similar to what you mention: keeping track of all of that damned correspondence, as well as some research to support the over worked attorney's there who don't get paid by billable hour . . . but who face those who do in court.

Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum
