Upcoming Workshop: Insurance ≠ Contract Join us today, from 4-5 PM EST, for a special conversation with Professor Travis Pantin, director of the Insurance Law Center and Associate Professor of Law at the University of Connecticut School of Law. Register here: ilc.law.uconn.edu/insurance-la...

Professor Pantin confronts a perplexing matter: Why does insurance law treat insurance contracts as distinct from non-insurance contracts? By analyzing the distinctions of insurance contracts—imposition by mandate, price regulation, adhesion, and damages sounding in tort—Professor Pantin proposes a theory of insurance that distinguishes it from contractual exchange.

Kenneth Abraham is a giant of tort and insurance law, so it was an honor to host a festschrift for him at UConn Law on Friday. The turnout was amazing, and the speeches and panels were scintillating and unforgettably heartfelt. Here's to Ken, and to the immense debt we owe him!🥂
