The ‘Law’ Every Attorney Must Know

f lawyers are to represent insurers, if they are to be counselors in the fullest sense of the word, if they are to anticipate and answer questions of the highest importance, they must understand how technology continues to transform the insurance industry as a whole. They must not simply be aware of a few codicils and a minority of codes. They must be conversant with, so they can call and examine witnesses who are fluent in, the technology that influences everything from actuarial science to sales. I write these words as someone who has a law degree. Thus, I know how rigid legal curricula are versus how dynamic technology is.
