Lamb-Weston rule

Read a random definition: auxilium vice comiti

A quick definition of Lamb-Weston rule:

The Lamb-Weston rule is a principle in insurance that applies when two insurance policies cover the same loss, and each policy has a clause that conflicts with the other in terms of how the coverage is allocated. In such cases, both clauses are ignored, and the liability is divided proportionally between the insurers.

A more thorough explanation:

The Lamb-Weston rule is a doctrine in insurance that applies when two insurance policies provide coverage for the same loss, and each policy contains an other-insurance clause that creates a conflict in the order or apportionment of coverage. In such cases, both other-insurance clauses are disregarded, and liability is prorated between the insurers.

For example, suppose a person has two insurance policies that cover their car, and both policies have an other-insurance clause. If the car is damaged in an accident, the Lamb-Weston rule would apply, and both insurers would be responsible for paying a portion of the damages.

The Lamb-Weston rule was established in the case of Lamb-Weston, Inc. v. Oregon Auto. Ins. Co., where the court ruled that both insurers should share the liability for a loss when their policies conflicted with each other.

@ClockworkBlue: god I hope that's true
if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
the more risk you take the higher chance of it backfiring
my instinct would be low humor bc if they have such a complex application I would feel hesitant to use a major part of it as a joke. They clearly take their admissions seriously and a joke video might convey the wrong thing at the wrong time. I think that humor is best put into a PS anecdote where it adds some shine to your personality
safe is always better
All good points

@TheAdoptedOne: amazing
I almost did one for Vanderbilt and my idea was to do a documentary-style vid where I and others talked about me like it was an ESPN 30 for 30.

I was risky in maybe one or two of my essays in that some parts read as slightly humorous, but I really tried to suss out the vibe for each school. I feel like Berk and UMich may be more accommodating of a more "out there" approach than other schools I applied to

but that's literally just going off vibes
it looks like Berk vid is in response to a known prompt. My thinking is it may be a counter to AI by getting people to have to respond to what is essentially an essay prompt but on video
"I think really it’s more the USNWR change that emphasizes employment outcomes in school rankings. Schools want to admit people who have the skills to be more likely to land great jobs even more than before, and being a good interviewer is a very important for that. They want to see you have the soft skills." from a reddit comment

One funny thing when talking to lawyers at work is that they will always say how they wish more law schools had interviews to make sure you can like... talk to people and form sentences
