Read a random definition: timocracy

A quick definition of litigator:

A litigator is a type of lawyer who helps people resolve legal disputes by preparing cases for trial, gathering information, arguing in court, and handling appeals. They are not the ones involved in the dispute, but rather they represent one of the parties involved.

A more thorough explanation:

Litigator

A litigator is a lawyer who prepares cases for trial, conducts discovery and pretrial motions, tries cases, and handles appeals. They are not considered as litigants.

1. John is a litigator who specializes in personal injury cases. He spends most of his time preparing cases for trial and representing his clients in court.

2. Sarah is a litigator who works for a large law firm. She handles a variety of cases, including contract disputes and employment law matters.

A litigator is a type of lawyer who focuses on representing clients in court. They are responsible for preparing cases for trial, which involves gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and drafting legal documents. Litigators also conduct pretrial motions, which are requests made to the court before the trial begins. During the trial, litigators present evidence and arguments to the judge or jury. If the case is appealed, litigators handle the appeal process. Litigators are not considered as litigants because they are representing someone else in court, not themselves.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)

Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.
