duty-to-defend clause

Read a random definition: bilanciis deferendis

A quick definition of duty-to-defend clause:

A duty-to-defend clause is a part of an insurance policy that says the insurance company must take over the defense of a lawsuit brought by someone else against the person who bought the insurance. This only applies if the lawsuit is about something that the insurance policy covers. A duty is a legal obligation that someone has to do something or not do something. There are different types of duties, like a duty to act to prevent harm to someone else, a duty to be honest and fair, or a duty to pay taxes.

A more thorough explanation:

A duty-to-defend clause is a provision in liability insurance that obligates the insurer to take over the defense of any lawsuit brought by a third party against the insured on a claim that falls within the policy's coverage. This means that if someone sues the insured for something covered by the insurance policy, the insurance company will provide a lawyer and pay for the legal defense.

For example, if a person has liability insurance for their car and gets into an accident, injuring someone else, the insurance company will provide a lawyer to defend the insured if the injured person sues them for damages.

@shaquilleoatmeal: I would agree with that. It'd also just increase the frequency of confirmation hearings and those are always shit shows.

i personally think it should be an 8 year term with a term limit of 3 terms. so 24 years total. and one's position can be given to another candidate as well, doesn't just always go to the incumbent

not to doom but there's no way conservatives would vote for a term limit on SCOTUS if the majority is going to rule in favor of conservative interests in a patterned way

for many people in politics, not just conservatives, the ends justify the means and the means could be anti-american if it means achieving a "patriotic" end so to speak

i went to this one club that’s in crazy rich Asians. the rooftop bar
@shaquilleoatmeal: It's not a bad article, but I still don't buy it because (a) I think it glosses over cases like Milligan way too quickly without even going into why there was an ideological split (which there was for a reason and that case did matter) and (b) I think the 3-3-3 court description is also grounded in the difference in jurisprudence between the two groups (and that they aligned on cases like the SFAA one could say more about the facts of the case, than jurisprudential differences)

@shaquilleoatmeal: I’ll also preface, I am a little biased—I’m a big fan of Sara Isgur and David French.

^^ advisory opinions ?

i was trying to get into that with scorp before lsd crashed

not aware of Milligan - what was the split and why
Essentially if an Alabama redistricting map violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. It was 5-4 with Kavanaugh and Robert’s in the majority. A very important case.
@shaquilleoatmeal: yes! I love advisory opinions
