How do lawyers use math on their job?

please tell me how lawyers must use math on their job.

As a patent attorney, I use a good bit of basic math in just making sure prosecution requirements are met or not violated. Also, depending on the type of patent, it is necessary to use some math/engineering skills just in understanding or writing a patent.

Somewhat related to this question, I also use math in keeping up to date and figuring out the best way to eventually get my student loans paid off !!!!

I am a workers' compensation defense attorney and we (sadly) use math constantly. There are many formulas and software programs to assist with most of the calculations. Typically, you would use math to calculate an injured workers' disability benefit rate. Math is also used to convert an injured workers' disability (based on a medical report) into a number/percentage which is then converted into a monetary value. These are only a few examples, but math is a part of the job.
