Can I combine activity codes? For example, can I combine the time I spent researching case law and drafting my brief?

No. You cannot combine activity codes. You must break down activities by proper codes. For example, the time spent researching would be coded as an F Code, Legal Research. The time spent drafting your brief would be coded as an E Code, Legal Drafting. For further clarification please refer to the AFCIV Reimbursement Guidelines, pg. 13.
