That is a 56 hour week assuming 2 weeks vacation. They may be sitting somewhere but they aren't "working" that. Typical law partner is 2100 hours billable. But many partners pad, and attorneys make a hell of a lot more than 69K per year.
I used to see lots of people who "worked" 70-80 hour weeks. Their work product was crap, and they mostly did it so they could brag about it. Or whine about it. Or both.
