Core Legal
This course is designed to acquaint attorneys new to state regulation with the various laws that govern the insurance industry. The course begins with a historical presentation of milestones and court cases that have shaped our current understanding of insurance and the business of insurance. Attorneys who want a broader understanding of their role within the state regulatory framework should not miss the opportunity to participate in this course. This course is designed primarily for attorneys with less than five years of experience in insurance regulation. However, veteran attorneys may also benefit from information provided within this course by 不良研究所官方 legal staff.
