To honor Ben, we have established an annual scholarship at Southern Methodist University Law School which will be presented to a deserving second or third year law student who has successfully completed the insurance law course and shows an interest in pursuing an insurance-related practice. Donations may be sent to Ben Love Memorial Scholarship, c/o Insurance Law Section, PO Box 4646, Austin, TX 78765

 
Coverage Questions - Hurricane Katrina

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, many of you may have received questions from your clients concerning insurance coverage for the devastating losses, or you may have volunteered to answer insurance questions from displaced victims who have relocated to Texas. We are pleased to provide commercial and personal lines forms and endorsements commonly used in Louisiana and a list of Frequently Asked Questions compiled by The Louisiana Department of Insurance.




We hope you find this website a helpful tool to provide you access to our informative newsletter on current legal developments, annual conference details, resource links to other insurance industry websites, and other information that will be useful to you in your practice.
