ACCC COVID-19 Law School Webinars Resume in November!

After our successful webinar launch with the Boston College Law School last July, we took a break to let the litigation and case law catch up with.  And has it ever!

In November, we resume our programming with a November 12 program in conjunction with the University of Connecticut Law School and a November 17 webinar through the University of California-Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco.

UCONN:  November 12 - 5:00-6:30 pm Eastern/2:00-3:30 pm Pacific

The UConn program will be held on November 12. It will focus on the liability claims and related insurance issues that are now emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic.  The webinar, which has been organized by ACCC Fellows John Buchanan of Covington & Burling and Rhonda Tobin of Robinson & Cole, is being presented in conjunction with both UConn and the Connecticut Bar Association. The keynote presenter will be Professor Tom Baker, the William Maul Measey Professor Law at the University of Pennsylvania and the former Director of the Insurance Law Center at UConn and the first Academic Director of UConn’s Insurance Law Center, who will discuss the case law trends that he has observed in the course of developing Penn’s COVID Coverage Litigation Tracker website with Lex Machina.  The program will also feature a presentation on emerging liability claims by Jeffrey Vita of Saxe Doernberger & Vita and Jay Sever of Phelps Dunbar, to be followed by a roundtable discussion of liability and insurance issues involving our panelists, members of the Law School community, and members of the Insurance Law Committee of the Connecticut Bar Association. UConn’s Insurance Law Center is the preeminent academic center for insurance law and risk regulation and offers the only Insurance Law LLM program in the country.  Each year the Center organizes conferences and events bringing together leading scholars, lawyers and regulators to discuss and debate the legal and public policy issues surrounding insurance law and regulation.

This webinar is free to all ACCC Fellows as well as their clients, partners and colleagues, and students, staff and faculty at UConn School of Law. Members of the CBA can also register to attend free of charge.
