sue-and-labor clause

Read a random definition: accrual accounting method

A quick definition of sue-and-labor clause:

A sue-and-labor clause is a part of marine insurance that says the insurance company will pay for the costs of protecting the insured property from damage or minimizing actual damages to the property. The clause requires the insurer to "sue and labor" to protect the insured party's interests. This means that the insurance company will help the insured party take action to prevent damage or minimize the damage that has already occurred.

A more thorough explanation:

A sue-and-labor clause is a provision in marine insurance that covers the costs incurred by the insured in protecting the covered property from damage or minimizing actual damages to the property. This clause requires the insurer to "sue and labor" to protect the insured party's interests.

For example, if a ship is in danger of sinking, the owner may incur expenses to prevent the ship from sinking, such as hiring a salvage company. The sue-and-labor clause would cover these expenses.

Another example is if a cargo is damaged during transport, the owner may incur expenses to minimize the damage, such as hiring a surveyor to assess the damage and prevent further damage. The sue-and-labor clause would cover these expenses.

The sue-and-labor clause is separate from the perils clause, which covers the actual loss or damage to the insured property. The sue-and-labor clause covers expenses incurred to prevent or minimize the loss or damage.

LSAT can be one of the drills

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
