TUES., 8-18 Read pp. 1-35 – Be prepared to discuss/brief the three noted cases: Vlastos v. Sumitomo Marine and Fire (page 12), DeSmet Farm Mutual Insurance v. Busskohl (page 19), and Neil v. Nationwide Mutual (page 30). Note: Insurance Law has been reported to me by prior students as the most tedious and boring of subjects, particularly at the beginning. However, Insurance Law actually uses things you have learned in property, torts, contracts, health law, and administrative law. When you understand insurance law, it will help you in almost any form of legal practice including making a living as a sole practitioner. If the insurance terminology is too confusing, I recommend reviewing basics in Nutshell on Insurance Law available in the Bookstore.
