Defeating The "Step-Down" Clause In Auto Insurance, Greg Munro
Defeating The "Step-Down" Clause In Auto Insurance, Greg Munro
Faculty Journal Articles & Other Writings
This article addresses the increasingly occurring situations where "step-down" clauses are inserted in auto policies to defeat coverage for particular classes of claimants. The article points out that step-down clauses that reduce the recovery of family members to minimum limits and protection of permissive users to minimum limits are subject to challenge for being unfair, unconscionable, violative of public policy, violative of reasonable expectations, and for creating ambiguity in an auto policy, and as such, need to be scrutinized by the Montana Supreme Court.

A New Way For Lawyers To Assist Veterans, Hillary A. Wandler
Faculty Journal Articles & Other Writings
This article addresses the ever-increasing need for knowledgeable and effective veterans' advocates, and in particular, for veterans in Montana. The author notes that Montana Veterans Service Officers (VSOs) have demonstrated, effective representation can significantly increase a veteran's chance at submitting a successful benefits claim and nearly double a veteran's ultimate compensation. The author encourages Montana attorneys to come alongside Montana's VSOs to meet the legal needs of those who have served and are currently serving our country overseas and at home.
