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.

If u want a good laugh, look up "fed reserve pow questions April 4/2025" They were the oddest questions I have ever heard. These two reporters were firing off the weirdest, out of pocket questions. Also, a funny slip up at the end.

You could boost your standing with the following questions: 1. "Do you have an auto pay feature so I can easily continue donating to the university after I graduate?" or "What is the largest donation this institution has received, as I intend to surpass that number within ten yrs of graduation?" finally, "I am the chillest applicant, Ill wait until the last min for you, and I will cross the country at the tip of your hat in order to attend." All seem helpful (do not say if u do not mean it)

does status always change to 'under review' before notification. i ask because seton hall accepted me 3 weeks ago, yet my status on LSAC remains 'completed'. my 5 other applications are radio silent and have the same 'completed' status - is this normal?
