Miller Act

Read a random definition: common-source doctrine

A quick definition of Miller Act:

The Miller Act is a law that says before someone can get a contract to build or fix a public building, they have to put up a special kind of bond. This bond makes sure that the person doing the work will do a good job and pay the people who helped them. It's like a promise to do things right and take care of everyone involved.

A more thorough explanation:

The Miller Act is a federal law that requires contractors to post performance and payment bonds before being awarded a contract for construction, alteration, or repair of a public work or building. This law was enacted to protect the interests of subcontractors and suppliers who may not receive payment for their work if the contractor defaults on the project.

For example, if a construction company is awarded a contract to build a new courthouse, they must post a performance bond and a payment bond before beginning work. The performance bond ensures that the contractor will complete the project according to the contract specifications, while the payment bond guarantees that subcontractors and suppliers will be paid for their work.

Another example would be if a contractor is hired to repair a government-owned bridge. They would need to post the required bonds before starting the project to ensure that all parties involved are protected.

These examples illustrate how the Miller Act works to protect the interests of subcontractors and suppliers by requiring contractors to provide financial security before beginning work on a public project.

Going to law school with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary

Man, there is this girl I visit every month at this one restaurant who I used to go skinny dipping with naked like @ararara always talked about in San Diego. We randomly reconnected like two months ago at this place she works at and we talk a lot about John Steinbeck books. If I don't visit her this month, she might be sad. However, this is my first day not sick and I worry about getting her sick and I am broke. What should I do LSD?
