About Our Subcommittees
The ICLC has formed subcommittees to focus on diverse areas of substantive insurance coverage law and procedural aspects of insurance coverage litigation. All of our subcommittees are cochaired by lawyers who typically represent policyholders, paired with lawyers who typically represent insurance companies, an arrangement that provides balance, promotes collegiality, and assures lively dialogue. The subcommittees publish articles in our journal-quality magazine, Coverage; propose, organize, and present programs at the committee's Annual CLE Meeting in Tucson and other Section of Litigation and ABA meetings; and author case notes, articles, and a variety of other materials for our Hot Topic Features on our website. Our subcommittees will work with our chairs, vice chairs and the new Long Range Planning Committee on a variety if initiatives focusing on diversity, young lawyers (lawyers under 35 or who have been practicing in the substantive area of insurance law for five years or less), women's issues, and membership. This year, the 2010 Annual CLE Meeting in Tucson will feature a Subcommittees Expo, at which subcommittee chairs will present information regarding their particular subcommittee activities, and encourage increased member activity and committee involvement.

Task Forces
If you have an idea for a Task Force or other special project that may be of special interest to the Committee's members, contact your Subcommittee Co-Chairs.
Like the famous frog in the slowly heating pan of water, we all are beginning to feel the heat of global warming. With the assistance of our Insurance Coverage Litigation Committee’s website chairs and ABA web support, the Emerging Issues Subcommittee invites you to participate in a shared learning experience surrounding this fundamentally important issue.
This Subcommittee presents an opportunity for young lawyers (35 or under, or of any age but practicing less than five years) who practice in insurance coverage law to become involved at the ground-floor level of an ABA subcommittee. Membership in the Young Lawyers Subcommittee will provide young insurance coverage attorneys with a forum in which they can network with other coverage attorneys across the country. If interested, please contact Jodi Spencer (policyholder side) or Rahul Karnani (insurer side).
Women's Initiative
The Committee is increasing networking and business development opportunities for women by sponsoring the Women's Coffee Hour each year at the ICLC's Annual Meeting in Tucson. The Coffee Hour provides a forum in which women can share ideas with other women coverage attorneys and insurance industry representatives from around the country. If interested, please contact Donna Wilson.
