Liberty law school demands lawsuit coverage

Virginia Lawyers Weekly/June 19, 2013

LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) Liberty Universitys law school wants a judge to force its insurance company to pay for its defense in a lawsuit stemming from a same-sex-marriage custody battle.

Virginia Lawyers Weekly (http://bit.ly/16gkYwz ) reports that the school claims in Lynchburg federal court that Hanover Insurance Co. wrongly denied coverage in the lawsuit filed by Janet Jenkins in Vermont.

Jenkins contends Libertys agents conspired to aid the 2009 disappearance of then-10-year-old Isabella Miller. The girl and her birth mother, Lisa Miller, fled to Nicaragua with the help of a Virginia pastor who was convicted last summer of aiding an international kidnapping.

Hanover says it doesnt owe coverage because Jenkins lawsuit does not claim bodily injury under its policies.

Liberty contends Jenkins emotional distress claim falls within the scope of the policys bodily injury definition.
