General Assignment Information

TWEN will be the primary course management tool for Insurance Law # 695 this Fall.  Please be sure to register on TWEN for that course and review the information already posted, which includes a Schedule and Syllabus under the Navigation Box.  I will use the e-mail addresses that you provide in TWEN to build a class e-mail list for distributing future assignments and handouts.

This course will center upon automobile, homeowners, and umbrella liability insurance.  The first class will include a review of negligence and damages, as the occurrence triggering liability insurance coverage.  Please review your notes on those subjects from prior classes that you have taken in law school.
