The American Law Institute adopted its Restatement of the Law, Liability Insurance in May 2018 after years of study, debate and controversy. Its journey, however, continues as lawyers and courts consider whether to utilize and perhaps adopt Restatement positions, and opponents continue lobbying state legislatures, regulators and courts to ignore it. This conference will bring academics and practicing lawyers who have worked on the Restatement to discuss and debate these issues.
Panel topics will include the Plain Meaning Rule and the use of extrinsic evidence in coverage disputes, the duty to make reasonable settlement decisions, and insurer liability for actions of appointed defense counsel. Tom Baker, a preeminent scholar in insurance law and one of two ALI Reporters for the Restatement will lead an interactive lunch session on how the Restatement would apply to a hypothetical claim scenario.
To learn more about the conference and to register, please visit law.uconn.edu/ali. Continental breakfast and lunch will be served. Registration is $60 for practitioners.
If you require a reasonable accommodation, please contact the law school at 860-570-5130 or law.access@uconn.edu at least two weeks in advance
On April 12, the conference moves to Rutgers Law School. Visit https://crr.rutgers.edu for details.
