AWS is something civil servants pay themselves to pat themselves on the back for all the "hard work" done. You'll be hard pressed to find this practice in the private sector, let alone the legal sector.
In short - no.
Civil servants' salaries come from taxpayers' monies (ie your pockets and mine), which they will help themselves generously to. Law firm salaries come from the partners' pockets, and law firm partners would rather sell their grandparents than take a hit to their take-home earnings.
