A quick definition of runner:

Runner: A runner is someone who works in a law office and delivers papers between offices or files papers in court. They may also be someone who tries to find people who have been hurt and convince them to hire a lawyer. In some places, a runner can also mean someone who smuggles things. In British slang, it can mean running away or disappearing on purpose.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A runner can have different meanings depending on the context:

  1. Legal Runner: An employee in a law office who delivers papers between offices and files papers in court.
  2. Personal-Injury Runner: A person who solicits personal-injury cases for a lawyer. This person is also known as a capper.
  3. Smuggler: A person who illegally transports goods or people across borders or checkpoints.
  4. Slang: In British English, runner can also mean an escape, flight from something, or a voluntary disappearance.

Examples:

  • A personal-injury runner may approach people who have been in accidents and offer to connect them with a lawyer who can help them get compensation for their injuries.
  • A smuggler may transport drugs, weapons, or people across borders for profit. This is illegal and can result in serious consequences.
  • If someone says they are going to "do a runner," it means they are planning to escape or disappear, often to avoid paying a debt or facing consequences for their actions.

The examples illustrate how the term "runner" can have different meanings depending on the context. It is important to understand the specific meaning of the term in order to use it correctly and avoid confusion.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
just called Fordham. they said there will be decisions going out today
