Recent scholarship has shown that tort law and practice are inextricably linked with insurance law. Liability insurance drives tort law in action, influencing what claims are brought, how they are litigated, and how damages are determined. First party insurance such as health and disability insurance are essential parts of the picture in understanding the legal system’s treatment of injury. The program reflects this intersection between torts and insurance, bringing together scholars doing cutting edge research adding to our understanding. Papers will focus on several areas including lawyers’ liability and insurance, the failure of no-fault insurance, and oil spill compensation.
