In a court of law in Australia, a judge's associate is a trained lawyer who assists the judge with administrative and legal work. This may involve providing draft judgements, proof reading a judge's work and liaising with counsel. Associates may also call out for the litigants when it is time to appear before the court.

Famous quotes containing the words judge and/or associate:
“Beshrew me but I love her heartily,
For she is wise, if I can judge of her,
And fair she is, if that mine eyes be true,
And true she is, as she hath proved herself;
And therefore, like herself, wise, fair, and true,
Shall she be placed in my constant soul.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“To associate with other like-minded people in small, purposeful groups is for the great majority of men and women a source of profound psychological satisfaction. Exclusiveness will add to the pleasure of being several, but at one; and secrecy will intensify it almost to ecstasy.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
