Associate

An associate is a lawyer who works for a law firm or another lawyer. They are not a partner or a member of the law firm. Associates can be junior or senior attorneys. They may choose to be on a non-partner track if they don't want to become a partner.

For example, John is a junior associate at a law firm. He works under a senior attorney and helps with legal cases. He is not a partner in the firm.

Another example is a summer associate. This is a law student who works for a law firm during their summer break. They are like a legal intern. Many law firms hire summer associates and offer them a job after they graduate.

These examples illustrate that associates are lawyers who work for a law firm or another lawyer. They are not partners and may be junior or senior attorneys. Summer associates are law students who work for a law firm during their summer break.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.

ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
23:02
i am not that sympathetic to him
Dkk
23:04
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.
Dkk
23:05
Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.

Indeed. I need a count for how many exectuive orders he has signed and how many already have pending lawsuits.
