Your supervising attorney delegated a project to you that you have not completed in the past and asked you to report back to her if you spend more than two hours on the project. You are now two hours into the project, and you believe that you only need another 45 minutes to complete the project, but those 45 minutes will also include research on LexisNexis (incurring additional research fees). Use good judgment and discuss what your next step should be.

Report your progress to your supervising attorney, and have her authorize the
additional research fees. Although it may be tempting to spend the additional 45 minutes
finishing the project, it is important to use good judgment and report back to your supervising
attorney as asked. Your supervising attorney may have additional insight into the project, may
have a specific budget in mind for the project, or may allow you the extra time. Whatever it
may be, you need to keep the supervising attorney apprised as to your progress when requested
