The New Jersey Institute for Continuing Education’s (NJICLE) Summer Institutes, a series of two-day, comprehensive virtual programming, is underway, with the latest sessions set to focus on topics ranging from learning about the latest cyber risk insurance policies to the implications of the New Jersey inheritance tax.
The series opened with the Labor and Employment Law Summer Institute, which took place earlier this month. On July 27-28, the Family Law Summer Institute, will host a large and authoritative panel of matrimonial attorneys who will discuss how to conduct client interviews; deal with adversaries; and negotiate, settle and try cases. Attendees can gain fresh insights and nuanced perspectives about handling complicated and ethically challenging problems that often arise in family practice.
The Estate Planning Summer Institute on July 29-30 will offer advanced analysis of the most pressing topics in 2021 estate planning, including implications of the new tax law and the New Jersey inheritance tax. Attendees will get a deeper understanding of the law and procedure, essential drafting techniques, and information that can be implemented immediately.
After its debut last year, the Insurance Law Summer Institute returns on Aug. 4-5.
“It was very successful. We got great feedback, and one of the things we added was more detail,” said moderator Julia C. Talarick, a shareholder with Kinney Lisovicz Reilly & Wolff in Parsippany.
The seminar is geared to commercial entities and the changing landscape of claims, and will focus on a detailed review of policy terms of general liability, property, employment practices and cyber risk policies. Each policy will be reviewed for coverages, exclusions, conditions and typical endorsements. Attendees will learn how these policies interact or stand alone, and why they are necessary in today’s commercial world.
“The presenters are all very experienced coverage attorneys, who are going to dive into the details of policy forms as well as case law,” Talarick said.
Participants, whether new or experienced attorneys, “are going to pick up a lot of information and be able to assist their clients. If you are a new insurance attorney, it is a very good program to get your feet wet and get into policy details,” she added.
“We are going to address traditional risk that policyholders generally face, but we will also delve into new risks, such as COVID-19 and social media claims. Businesses are flocking to the internet to advertise or sell goods, and social media influencers ought to be aware of the risk of being out there and whether they are protected. Just because you have a general liability policy doesn’t mean you are covered for that risk,” Talarick said.
