    Everyone knows that sometimes it would be nice to have a few more hours in our days. For a Liberal senator, that was recently proven to be true. A lawyer, she billed a client for 30 hours of work during a single day. Who is the senator?

    		Mobina Jaffer

    The federal New Democrats want B.C. senator and lawyer Mobina Jaffer to step down while she's under investigation by the Law Society of B.C. for allegedly over-billing.
    Jaffer has been called before the society after charging a client more than $6 million in five years, between 2000 and 2004.
    Her fee included charges for 30 hours of work in a single day.

    In the UK, a person arrested for murder can be held for set periods of time before he (or she) is charged or released. Initially it's 24 hours, but it can be much longer - and there is nothing the accused or a lawyer can do about it until the time is up. However, in just about every American TV cop show I've seen, a lawyer breezes in after half an hour and says "charge or release", and then walks out with the client. Is this right in real life?
