agreed-amount clause

Read a random definition: ART

A quick definition of agreed-amount clause:

Agreed-Amount Clause: This is a part of an insurance policy that says the insured person or company has agreed to carry a certain amount of coverage. This means that if something bad happens and the insured needs to make a claim, the insurance company will pay up to the agreed amount to help cover the costs. It's like making a promise to have enough insurance to protect yourself or your business.

A more thorough explanation:

An agreed-amount clause is a provision in an insurance policy that requires the insured to carry a specific amount of coverage. This means that the insurer and the insured have agreed upon the amount of coverage that will be provided in the event of a claim.

Let's say that John owns a car worth $20,000. He purchases an auto insurance policy with an agreed-amount clause that states he will carry $20,000 in coverage. If John gets into an accident and his car is totaled, the insurance company will pay out the agreed-upon amount of $20,000 to cover the cost of the car.

Another example could be a homeowner's insurance policy with an agreed-amount clause for the value of the home. If the home is destroyed in a fire, the insurance company will pay out the agreed-upon amount to cover the cost of rebuilding the home.

These examples illustrate how an agreed-amount clause works by setting a specific amount of coverage that the insured must carry. This helps to ensure that the insured is adequately protected in the event of a claim, and that the insurer knows exactly how much they will need to pay out.

i found a legal internship posting for 1L summer and above at a fairly popular company. should i wait until the semester starts to apply since i won't have any activities/proof that i would be completing my 1L year by next summer yet, or should i apply now with just the school name on my resume so the position doesn't fill up?
damn we already applying for 1L jobs
16:51
this company is notorious for opening their applications early lol

i know for a fact they dont start interviewing until sept/oct but it is a very popular company so im not sure timeline wise if i should wait to have something of legal related substance or just apply now to be ahead
thats a good question but i dont know the answer

@c0bra1: I don't know how it works either but I'd assume the worst they can do is tell you you don't have anything yet and if you apply again it'll make it seem like you're actually really interested?

IDK IDK don't take my advice for it lol. That's how I got some of my positions in undergrad but law is a different monster
idk with minicar
i agree
not idk omg
send an email, tell them you're an incoming 1L and looking to apply! even if they say you can't, you're on their radar if you re-apply after 1L
maybe if they ask for proof, show your acceptance letter and deposit confirmations or something? or you could probably ask admissions for some sort of proof of enrollment
holy fuck a recent nyu acceptance didn't hear back for almost half a year

i should see if i can get the recruiter name. this is a big company, not a firm, so i doubt they'll care too much, they might just ATS for graduation year. thanks yall
