@HoffProf Undefeated

Check out the new draft. It’s chock full of insurer accounts of how they view litigation minimizing boilerplate.

Can't wait to listen to this one!

Thanks for the invite @InsuranceLawCtr It was great fun. That said, there is no way I’m watching myself on the recording.

Did you miss our October 24 Insurance Law Workshop? Prof. @RickSwedloff presented "Insurers as Contract Influencers," co-authored with Prof. @HoffProf, exploring how insurers shape boilerplate terms in consumer contracts. The session recording is now available on YouTube. | 1/2

@mr_saltz Turns out there's academic work on just this question: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Genuinely asking: this feels like a recipe for cops to sit around and watch crimes while collecting their paycheck, because they are worried about the insurance risk

@HoffProf I like where this is heading.

@HoffProf What if, hypothetically, the journal usually rejects within 24 hours and it has been more than a week without a rejection?

@HoffProf @ex_factis And under that?

Thanks for the shout out!

@HoffProf Would you rather we retweet?

But, insurers don't push change where they don't cover. And don't always push cleanly. We explore all of that with respect to boilerplate! Check it out: we'd love your comments: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

But there are limits to the story-in line with a counter literature about whether insurers influence (led by @Dschwarcz and Ken Abraham)-insurers want changes, if it helps their bottom line. We add to that literature too. Boilerplate could be low-cost advice, with high impact.

In a new paper, @HoffProf and I explore whether insurers are influencers in the contract world. Are insurers doing something to encourage the adoption of litigation defeating boilerplate? papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… A story in GIFs:
