More Description
A contemporary, easy-to-teach text by the Reporters for the new Restatement of the Law Liability Insurance, this casebook invites students and teachers to re-imagine the field of Insurance Law. The authors demonstrate the big-picture role of insurance law and policy in American business and society, exploring federal-state regulatory roles in depth as well as the traditional topics covered in casebooks. Insurance Law and Policy: Cases and Materials uses more statutory material than any other casebook, with statutes typically presented through problems. Manageable assignments contain one major case followed by informative notes, questions and a problem. This text appeals to Insurance teachers as well as teachers of Torts and Contracts considering a new course. The Teacher's Manual--with case briefs, backgrounds on selected cases, simple diagrams that explain complex issues, and answers to questions and problems--is especially useful for instructors new to the course.
New to the Fifth Edition:
- Expanded coverage of the role of insurance in disasters and catastrophes, including the COVID-19 pandemic
- Extensive treatment of the now-finalized Restatement of the Law, Liability Insurance
- Reorganization of the liability insurance chapters to facilitate more step-by-step learning

Professors and student will benefit from:
- Focus on the big picture of federal-state regulatory roles in addition to the traditional insurance coverage topics addressed in other Insurance Law casebooks
- Extensive use of statutory materials, with statutes typically presented through carefully-constructed problems
- Manageable assignments structured with one major case, informative notes, questions, and a problem
- Interesting, up-to-date cases, with context-setting introductions, on topics such as cyber insurance, the role of private insurance in responding to public catastrophes, and the new Restatement of the Law Liability Insurance
- Cases are longer, providing students better grounding in the art of extracting useful knowledge from judicial opinions
- Elimination of some of the arcane aspects of insurance law in favor of presenting a broad and conceptual overview of the field
