A Mixed Bag For Chicken Little: Analyzing Year 2000 Claims And Insurance Coverage, Jeffrey W. Stempel Jan 1999

A Mixed Bag For Chicken Little: Analyzing Year 2000 Claims And Insurance Coverage, Jeffrey W. Stempel

Scholarly Works

A visitor from another planet reading the popular and insurance trade press would probably conclude that the world stands on the abyss of a business, tort, and insurance crisis of unprecedented proportion. Media coverage of an impending Year 2000 “crisis” has reached a fevered pitch, with predictions of both a gigantic volume of Year 2000 claims and a correspondingly large amount of insurance coverage litigation. Many predict that the Year 2000 problem (also known as the “Y2K” or “Millennium Bug” problem) will create coverage controversies and costs dwarfing major insurance battles of the late twentieth century such as those concerning …


Embracing Descent: The Bankruptcy Of A Business Paradigm For Conceptualizing And Regulating The Legal Profession, Jeffrey W. Stempel Jan 1999

Embracing Descent: The Bankruptcy Of A Business Paradigm For Conceptualizing And Regulating The Legal Profession, Jeffrey W. Stempel

Scholarly Works

Lawyers are said to travel in packs, or at least pairs, and in the popular parlance are often compared to hoards of locusts, herds of cattle, or unruly mobs. However, at least for purposes of assessing concerns with professionalism currently surrounding the bar and the public, whether attorneys are more or less social than other human animals does not matter. My point is simply that lawyers are social beings; like other human beings in social and occupational groups, lawyers behave largely in accordance with group norms, in much the same way peer pressure led Julian English toward juvenile delinquency in …

Chicago Hope Meets The Chicago School, Gail B. Agrawal May 1998

Chicago Hope Meets The Chicago School, Gail B. Agrawal

Michigan Law Review

Twenty-five years after the enactment of the Federal Health Maintenance Organization Act and nearly five years after the failure of proposed federal health care reform, managed care has come to dominate the medical marketplace. As a result, the relationships among patients, payers, and physicians have changed fundamentally and dramatically. In this market-driven environment, health care - how much it costs, who receives treatment, and who pays for it - may have surpassed the weather as a topic of everyday conversation at dinner tables and water coolers across the country. In the popular press, reports concerning managed care, usually derogatory, are …


The Effects Of Tax Law Changes On Property-Casualty Insurance Prices, David F. Bradford, Kyle D. Logue Apr 1998

The Effects Of Tax Law Changes On Property-Casualty Insurance Prices, David F. Bradford, Kyle D. Logue

Book Chapters

One of the most important components of the balance sheet of a property-casualty insurance company is the loss reserve. In spite of what the term may suggest, a loss reserve is not a pot of funds set aside for the uncertain future. It is an accounting entry, a liability on the balance sheet. More precisely termed the unpaid-losses account, the loss reserve expresses the amount the company expects to pay out in the future to cover indemnity payments that will come due on policies already written for losses that have already been incurred and to cover the costs of dealing …
