Ambulance chaser: A lawyer or their agent who tries to convince people who have been in accidents to sue for money.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An ambulance chaser is a lawyer or their agent who seeks out victims of accidents or injuries in order to convince them to sue for damages.

Example 1: After a car accident, a man was approached by a lawyer who gave him a business card and urged him to sue the other driver for compensation. This lawyer is an ambulance chaser.

Example 2: A woman was injured in a slip and fall accident at a grocery store. She received multiple phone calls and letters from lawyers offering their services to help her sue the store for damages. These lawyers are ambulance chasers.

These examples illustrate how ambulance chasers prey on vulnerable individuals who have been injured or traumatized by accidents. They often use aggressive tactics to convince people to sue, and may not have their clients' best interests in mind.

As an R&Rer i can tell you your recommendations stay in LSAC for like five years or something and you don’t have to re-request them

And you don’t have to get new ones

I am an R&R advocate if you know you can do better on the LSAT or write better essays or you just want more time to figure out what you’re doing with your life. Was a really good choice for me

You can re-use recommendations, but if you're reapplying and expecting different results, you should get at least one new/updated recommendation.
