|
InterContinental Hotel
City: Kansas City
State: MO |
Pack your bags and discover something unique and unexpected in Kansas City! We’ve put together an exciting program
covering every aspect of the surety’s Indemnity Agreement, and we are putting it on in Kansas City because KC has
it all—eclectic cuisine, swinging jazz, a thriving arts scene, signature barbeque, fantastic shopping, and, of course,
exquisite fountains. There is something for everyone, from major league sports to world-renowned museums like the newly
opened National World War I Museum, home of the first American and only national museum dedicated to WWI. The area
is also home to the Truman Presidential Museum & Library, NASCAR at the Kansas Speedway, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of
Art, the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, the Hallmark Visitors Center, the beautifully restored Union Station,
Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun amusement parks, and countless historic sites.
The Intercontinental Hotel is adjacent to the beautiful Country Club Plaza, a 14-square-block outdoor shopping and
entertainment district filled with romantic Spanish architecture, European art and dazzling fountains. With more than
40 fountains and 50 sculpted works of art, the Plaza is often referred to as an "outdoor museum." But this outdoor
museum also features over 150 boutiques and fashionable national stores, distinctive restaurants, outdoor cafes and
nightlife hotspots. Perhaps one of the late night clubs will play host to one of our Young Professionals Subcommittee
events?!!
Get ready to enjoy and participate in a day and a half of programming covering the surety industry’s most important
document, the Indemnity Agreement. Claims professionals, underwriters, brokers, agents, contractors, outside counsel
and consultants all need to know the ins and outs of the Indemnity Agreement. The program materials include a
completely updated publication, "The Surety’s Indemnity Agreement: Law and Practice, 2nd Ed.," which promises to be
one of the most useful reference materials ever assembled on the subject. Combine this outstanding publication with
the presentations and workshops and you have an event not to be missed.

Mental Illness Clauses in Disability Income Insurance Policies
Contact: Debra Dotson 312/988-5597
|
a 90 Minute Teleconference
|
Speakers will examine the law surrounding mental disability provisions, exclusions, and limitations in disability income insurance policies, the law's relationship to and interaction with the ADA and discrimination law, and arguments that some mental disabilities are really physical in nature. The program will explore proposed Congressional bills related to these issues.
Through this program, our listeners will:
- Learn what mental illness clauses in disability income policies are, and about their limiting and preclusive effects on benefit collection.
- Be exposed to cases in which defendant insurers and individual plaintiffs have prevailed in court under traditional and unorthodox treatments of mental illness limitation clauses.
- Corporate metrics as indicators of litigation risk
- Hear medical and science-based explanations on why conditions traditionally viewed as mental illnesses have been characterized as physical or "organic" and how federal courts have reacted to such arguments.
- Become more familiar with this facet of disability insurance benefit litigation.

Insurance Ramifications of the Subprime/Credit Mortgage Crisis
Contact: Debra Dotson 312/988-5597
|
Web Audiocast
|
There are currently $1.2 trillion in outstanding subprime home mortgage loans in the United States of which some 13% are in default. The resulting subprime/credit crisis already has given rise to litigation on many fronts. Insurance claims inevitably will follow. Recent reports estimate $9 billion in potential insurance claims-related costs.
Claims are likely to arise under at least Errors and Omissions, Directors and Officers, and Bond insurance. Whether a policyholder or insurer, numerous issues will need to be confronted: the proper timing of notification, requesting or granting consent to requests for defense or to allow settlement, who will control the defense and selection of counsel, whether fraud or rescission or other knowledge-based defenses will bar claims, whether "claims" actually have arisen, and how limits, if applicable, will be applied considering potentially competing claims for limits among Named Insureds and across combined limit policies. Other issueswill include the proper immediate reaction, including insurers’ potential addition of mortgage-backed securities exclusions and policyholders likely reactions.
Policyholders and insurers must prepare now. To that end, the ABA has put together a panel of experts to explain parameters of the subprime crisis and the likelyinsurance implications. Both perspectives - insurer and policyholder - will be presented along with neutral input and commentary from Ernst & Young.

WOMEN DRIVE RESULTS IN TRANSPORTATION LAW NATIONAL PROGRAM

Ritz Carlton Hotel
City: Dearborn
State: MI |
Please join us on Wednesday, June 4, 2008 for the second annual "ABA/TIPS Women Drive Results in Transportation Law Program" in Dearborn, Michigan. The faculty for this conference is extremely impressive and includes very prominent members of the transportation industry. This program will once again be hosted at the newly-renovated, elegant and luxurious Ritz-Carlton Hotel, in beautiful Dearborn, MI.
In recent years, issues involving women attorneys have come to the forefront of our profession. There are many benefits to utilizing the strategic and marketing potential of recognizing these issues. We would like to invite you to join us for a full day of interesting and cutting-edge legal topics specifically focused on women in the transportation industry with a diverse panel of experienced presenters and excellent networking opportunities!
If you are a woman and your trial practice involves claims with "planes, trains and automobiles," on behalf of plaintiffs or manufacturers, or if you serve as in-house counsel or as insurance representative to a manufacturer, you are sure to find this program intriguing and motivating.
In addition to the cutting-edge substance and fitting venue near "Motor City," America, TIPS will hold a pre-conference networking event sponsored by Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz, PC, and Campbell Campbell Edwards & Conroy PC on Tuesday, June 3, 2008. This rare opportunity to mingle with in-house counsel and prominent transportation law trial attorneys will prove immensely invaluable to attorneys who are both new to and well-versed in transportation law issues.
Law firms and companies that register two or more lawyers for our Women Drive Results in Transportation Program will receive a $50 discount for each registrant.
We expect this program to be heavily attended by female in-house attorneys and leading transportation practitioners for both the plaintiffs’ and defense bar. The atmosphere at ABA programs is always collegial and the discussion is interesting and often highly spirited. It’s a great program, attended by great people, in the great Motor City.
Mark your calendars now for June 4, 2008. You won’t be disappointed and we look forward to meeting you!
