First Time New York State Bar Association Has Webcast of Section Executive Meeting

By Matthew Lerner

You are invited to view the Torts Insurance & Compensation Law Section in action. On October 7th (this Tuesday), the Section's Executive Committee will hold its quarterly meeting at the New York Bar Center. The first hour of this meeting will be broadcast over the internet and available for viewing at www.nysba.org/TICLWebcast.  To view the webcast, simply access the link above on the day of the meeting and follow the directions on the screen.

Among the items on the agenda will be the Section's consideration and proposal of legislation to amend Insurance Law 3420(d). Also known as the disclaimer statute, the Executive Committee will examine whether it should require a policyholder or claimant show prejudice when an insurer's disclaimer is late, but otherwise valid. The Executive Committee will also address adoption of a strategic plan, and upcoming Section events.

This will be the first webcast by any NYSBA Section of one of its events.
