Law School Office Hours: by appointment
Law School Secretary: Ann Bates
ambates@u.washington.edu
Class meets in room 116 William H. Gates Hall on Mon./Wed. 8:30a.m. – 10:20am, plus
Fri., 4/13 and Fri., 4/27, same time, loc. TBA.
Handouts available on course website.
Learning Goals
Insurance law may not initially sound like the most interesting subject in the world (ahem), but past
students have repeatedly told me that this was the single most useful course they took in law school. If
you practice civil law, you will absolutely have occasion to refer back to concepts and issues we cover
in this class. Insurance issues permeate civil law, especially civil litigation.
By the end of this course a successful student will have learned: 1) how insurance works, what types of
risks are suitable for private insurance and what risk characteristics are “uninsurable”; 2) basic
principles of risk management; 2) how to read and interpret an insurance policy; 3) fundamental
principles and characteristics of property & casualty insurance; 4) what is a liability insurer’s “duty to
defend”; 5) what is a “reservation of rights” and what are its consequences to insurer and to insured; 6)
multiple theories of insurer extracontractual liability (aka “bad faith” law); 7) you will be familiar with
key Washington insurance cases; and 8) you will impress the heck out of attorneys and judges you may
work with as a summer associate, an intern, a clerk, or as a new practicing lawyer. You will also gain a
good idea of basic coverages you, as an individual, should be carrying to protect yourself and your loved
ones. Plus, we have fun.
Attendance
This course is on the compressed class schedule. Our last day of class is May 16. The final exam will
be on the date assigned by the law school. The law school requires that each student attend at least 80%
of class sessions in each course. Due to the compressed schedule, the nature of this topic and the lack of
a suitable textbook, class attendance is, in fact, extremely important. If you miss classes, you will be
at a severe disadvantage. I will ask the law school to record the first week of class, so that anyone
joining the class late will not have missed those sessions. Recording thereafter, however, will depend on
having enough students actually attend class in person. We will discuss this on the first day of class.

Course Materials
There is no casebook for this class. I have reviewed many published casebooks, and they are simply
unsatisfactory. Course materials will therefore consist of a combination of handouts and of published
cases, statutes and regulations. Handouts will be posted on the course website. In the past, students
have preferred to print the legal sources themselves, off of Lexis or Westlaw, or to copy them from the
published reporters. Absent a class consensus to the contrary, that is how we will proceed, however we
will discuss this issue on the first day of class. The cases I assign for reading are, by and large, classic
insurance coverage cases that you will have occasion to consult again and again once you are in practice,
especially if you practice in the State of Washington. Some cases will be relevant to several different
assignments. I recommend that you print the cases out and put them into a three-ring binder for repeated
reference.
Grading and Written Assignments
All students must take the final exam. Due to the compressed schedule there will be no research paper
option this year.
All written work will be graded on a “blind” basis, using student numbers, with answers submitted
through Academic Services. I will seek an exemption from curve grading for this class, though I cannot
guarantee the school will give an exemption. Your final grade will be calculated as follows:
15% - “Basic Fact Pattern” (take-home). This assignment will be CR/NC, but if the answer shows
significant problems with subject mastery, you will have to re-do it to obtain CR. You will
have one opportunity to resubmit an answer which is initially graded NC.
15% - Write a “reservation of rights” letter based on a fact and coverage scenario that will be
provided (take-home). This assignment will be graded. There will be one “re-do”
opportunity (optional) and the highest of the two grades will be used.
20% - “Claim Problem” (take-home). This will be graded. There will be no “re-do” opportunity on
this assignment.
50% - Final Exam (non-take-home). The final will consist of one or two “fact patterns” with
questions to be answered from each fact pattern. There may be one additional question
which would be more theoretical in approach. All necessary insurance policy language will
be provided. In the past, my exams have been limited open book, meaning that you may only
rely on materials that were part of the class assignments and on notes that you have
personally created and/or that are from a study group to which you have actually contributed
written work product. No hornbooks, nutshells, or other commercially prepared materials
that were not part of class materials are permitted. No internet access. The Honor Code
applies and will be enforced. We will discuss computer usage for exams the first week of
class.
Reading Assignments
The following schedule of reading assignments is current as of the beginning of the quarter, and is
subject to modification as the quarter progresses. There may be occasions where a topic assigned for
one class session will run over into a subsequent class session. Students are responsible for making
themselves aware of what readings are required for any particular class session, as announced
during prior classes. Depending on student plans for geographic and subject matter practice, and on
the possibility of outside speakers, I may assign additional or substitute readings during the quarter.

You will note that one class session currently has no assigned topic or reading. I have built this in as a
“catch-up” class session. We definitely will meet that day, and you will be notified in advance of the
topic and readings for that day.
Where page numbers are in boldface, only the boldfaced pages are assigned.
