    CLE Books revises Wisconsin Insurance Law

    State Bar CLE Books recently released the 2004 edition of Wisconsin Insurance Law - an indispensable resource frequently cited by the Wisconsin Supreme Court and Court of Appeals and by attorneys throughout the state. Written by experienced Wisconsin litigator Arnold Anderson, this book provides an in-depth treatment of all aspects of insurance law in Wisconsin. Justice Hugo Black once stated, "Perhaps no modern commercial enterprise directly affects so many persons in all walks of life as does the insurance business. Insurance touches the home, the family, and the occupation or business of almost every person in the United States." Whatever type of law that you practice, you can benefit from owning this book because insurance plays an important part in many aspects of our society.

    In addition to providing up-to-date discussion of cases and statutes, many sections have been significantly expanded, including those dealing with the constantly evolving areas of reducing clauses and contextual ambiguity, the mold exclusion, and business risk exclusions. The appendices include sample language for automobile, general liability, and homeowner's policies, as well as an underinsured motorist endorsement.

    Attorneys who have used earlier editions highly recommended it. Claude Covelli, an insurance defense attorney since 1973, described it as "the definitive source on Wisconsin insurance law," and "recommend[ed] it to all practitioners, both experienced and less experienced."Another attorney stated, "[t]hose of us who use this book a great deal could not go without it, and others may not realize what a valuable resource it is until it finds a place on the shelf."

    The new edition has been reviewed by several prominent Wisconsin insurance law practitioners, including Robert Burrell, Tim Hawley, John Higgins, Tom Schrimpf, Sheila Sullivan, Joe Thrasher, and Jim Weis. All agree Wisconsin practitioners can use this reference with confidence.

    First published in 1983, Wisconsin Insurance Law became a State Bar CLE Books publication in 2002. This fifth edition has been completely revised, incorporating all recent developments in insurance law, while retaining and integrating the earlier editions and supplements. Insurance Law explains the law clearly and concisely, covering: interpretation of insurance contracts; automobile liability insurance; uninsured and underinsured motorist insurance; general liability policies; fire and property insurance; insurance companies' duty to defend; insurance companies' investigation and handling of third-party claims; first-party claims against insurance companies; subrogation; and responsibilities of insurance companies, insurance agents, and the insured.

    The cost for the two-volume set is $245 plus tax, shipping, and handling. Current owners who subscribe to the automatic supplementation service will receive the revision with an invoice for 10 percent off the regular price.

    Meet the author and several of the reviewers at a live CLE Seminar on April 28 in Madison.
