The purpose of the course is to focus on insurance law topics that many students will face as “bread and butter” issues when they enter practice. The course will focus on problems that arise in common areas of insurance litigation, the focus of class discussion will focus on the underlying legal principles that will allow a good advocate to build a case for his or her respective client’s position. Students will have a good understanding of the concepts behind insurance law principles, and will be prepared to be effective advocates for why the law should stay the same or be changed.
