The purpose of the Insurance Law Section is to comprehensively address many substantive areas of Texas insurance law. Its goal is to have a bi-partisan focus, balancing the interests of both policyholder lawyers and insurance company lawyers. The Section will seek to provide a forum for the Texas practitioner where all areas of substantive insurance law and procedural aspects of insurance litigation are addressed. Some of those areas include environmental coverage, directors' and officers' coverage, professional liability coverage, reinsurance coverage, agent/broker issues, London market issues, emerging coverage issues, regulatory issues and many others.

The Insurance Law Section will serve to meet the following important goals:

• Bringing together all members of the Texas State Bar who have an interest in one or more substantive areas of insurance law;
  
  
• Providing a forum where issues of insurance law can be singularly and thoroughly addressed and discussed in a bi-partisan manner;
  
  
• Improving the standards of professional competence of insurance law practitioners;
  
  
• Creating a forum to develop, analyze and recommend actions to improve the insurance law system and to enhance public understanding of that system; and
  
  
• Promoting the efficient and fair delivery and availability of legal services in the insurance law field.
