I used "Articled Clerk" but Junior Associate could work, although in the U.S. a Junior Associate is usually referred to someone who has not completed their legal training, which if you are referring to your mandatory year before taking the bar, then this is not exactly true for you either.
In the end, what counts is the way you tell them about what you did durng this time. You can mention in your essay (only in 1 sentence – don't waste words
) that you were in your mandatory year of internship after law school and before you can take the Bar exams.In any eent, as you can see, we all might have used different titles, but were able to convey what we did while in these positions in a positive way.
If you want to discuss further, feel free to contact me by e-mail.

Good Luck Rafi!
As we have similar backgrounds (except that you have a higher GMAT and a cooler militaqry service
) let me know if I can be of any help.AZ

As you saw from my previous post, I have not been in the forum for a while (wanted to give epony a chance to catch up with his postings
). I am sorry I am a little late to the whole Technion discussion.When I was trying to decide between my other offers and MIT, a major issue were the people. I discussed this matter with an acquintance who happens to run the most succesful (and expensive) admissions consultancy agency in the U.S. He said I should focus on my goals and my needs from the programs, which is why I should go to MIT (better fit). When I asked about the "Geekiness" factor at MIT (all those techies and engineers) he laughed and said that in business it is better to be a cool nerd than a wild business man. After a good laugh he got serious and said that in addition to goals and needs I should also evaluate the fit with the people.
As I did not visit either of the schools or admit weekends I had only the Israeli accepted students to observe. Don;t get me wrong, all of the groups are wonderful people with whom I would be honored to learn and/or work alongside. This only made my decision that more complicated.
However, as a total non techie or engineer (I have never set foot in the Technion!), I can honestly say that if the Israelis of the classes of 07, 08 and 09 are representative of their entire Sloan classes then I have nothing to worry about. On the contrary, I might even learn to like techies/engineers
As for environment, Yaniv said it best. It is uncomparable to Israeli universities in any way. It is a totally different experience which encompasses hands-on activities, case studies and lectures, all combined to give you the best business educational experience possible.
I wish you all success in your applications so you can enjoy this wonderful experience as well.

Gilam,
Kol Hakavod on your response.
I want to make it clear that (and I think I speak on behalf of everyone here) your important and informative posts are indeed a treasure of valuable information, and the above discussion should not diminsh from all the help you have given (for free) to the many applicants who have come through here over the years.
Accepting and understanding the many valid points that were raised above, will have a stronger value and will have been worth while if it indeeed helps you to improve your services.
Good Luck,
Aaron
P.S. – For clarifications sake, I am not affiliated with Aringo asI did not work with Aringo. Actually I was turned down twice.

Not everyone with a Jewish name is Israeli!
Especially not in Boston, NY, Chicago or LA.
I saw some of these people too. Some of them are Jewish Americans. If we start counting them, I imagine the percentage of "Israelis" in leading programs will be the greatest amongst internationals by far.

It's official. MBA students cheat the most.
If this is how they take exams, just imagine what they wrote in their applications

Ilan,
I completely agree. I do not claim (or have I ever claimed) to be an international, or Israeli, tax and citizenship expert. Those are definitely not my fields of law.
However, my comment about those who can afford it was due to some responses I received from other admitted students who expressed reluctance to spend any adidtional funds by getting professional help regarding other financial matters, such as applying for loans and scholarships.
I think you can agree that such reluctance is also a valid feeling especially due to the amounts already paid and the impending endless expenses soon to be upon us. Saying that so much has and will be spent already, and thus justifying all additional expenses, can lead to a bottomless pit of debt unless you have hords of cash lying around (BTW – if you do have piles of cash lying around I can help you get rid of them. Free of charge. But only because your a friend.
) I can accept that people want to and should save money where they can. The differences will be between what we decide to spend on. That is why I wanted to reinforce your post that there are many issues to consider and it probably pays to do it right the first time. Especially if you are going and coming back with a family.
