We have retained .the organization substantially begun in the Third Edition, with fifteen chapters, a division that enables an expanded scope of topical coverage and also segments the law of insurance in a manner more amenable to study, as well as facilitating recombination and reordering of the chapters as desired by individual instructors.

  • Insurance Law Page 1 of 2
    Insurance Law Page 1 of 2 Insurance Law involves the regulation of all types of insurance of risk: property, automobile, personal and professional liability, life, health, long-term care, and disability, among others. Most areas of the insurance industry are regulated, so insurance law attorneys should be comfortable with administrative law. Each type of insurance is also covered by regulations specific to its subject area. Health, long-term care, and disability insurance involve health care law. Insurance law attorneys should be experts in contract law and have experience with contract drafting. Corporate law knowledge and transactional skills are useful for insurance law attorneys. A background in alternative dispute resolution (ADR), such as negotiation, mediation, and arbitration, is important. Insurance contracts often use ADR clauses as a way to reduce transaction costs and increase efficiency. And since some types of insurance, such as life, health, and disability insurance, are offered as benefits through employers, employee benefits law is also relevant. For more information about insurance law, see the Legal Information Institute’s Wex encyclopedia “Insurance” page, the American Bar Association’s Tort Trial and Insurance Practice Section, and the International Risk Management Institute. Job Type Typical Duties Federal Agencies Draft and enforce rules and regulations. National Flood Insurance Draft and enforce external and internal policies and procedures.
