A quick definition of associate attorney:

An associate attorney is a type of lawyer who works for another lawyer or law firm. They help with legal work like researching, writing documents, and going to court. They are like a helper for the main lawyer. Sometimes, they specialize in certain types of legal work like writing briefs or doing research. They are not the main lawyer in charge, but they still play an important role in helping clients with their legal needs.

A more thorough explanation:

An associate attorney is a lawyer who works for a law firm or a company and is not a partner or owner. They assist senior attorneys with legal work and may also have their own clients.

For example, if a law firm is working on a big case, the senior attorney may assign some of the work to an associate attorney. The associate attorney may research legal issues, draft documents, and attend meetings with clients.

In the field of patents, an associate attorney may be appointed by a principal attorney to prosecute a patent application through the filing of a power of attorney.

To me it seems that if you don't have all your responses yet (which all schools know it has been a crazy cycle), then you shouldn't be penalized if you put down a deposit, get a response from another school, and choose to go that direction. If the school is stinky about it, it seems you would have some recourse through LSAC

swag yeah thats cool i think ill most likely just deposit at dozo to save myself the constant back-and-forth on the decision -- i dont think ive had a conversation yet where i end up choosing nova despite my best to advocate for it lol
