About the Journal 

The Connecticut Insurance Law Journal is the world's only academic law review dedicated exclusively to the publication of original research on the law relating to insurance, risk and responsibility. Now in its fourteenth year, the Journal has succeeded in attracting articles that are theoretically sophisticated and of practical importance. In the coming year, the Journal will experiment with new formats that will make the Journal even more useful to both lawyers and scholars. 

The Journal's authors include such recognized insurance law scholars as Lawrence O. Gostin, Kenneth Abraham, Jeffrey O'Connell, William F. Young, Alan Widiss, Kent Syverud, Charles Silver, Ellen Pryor, Robert Jerry, II, and James Fischer, as well as newcomers such as Seth Chandler, George Cohen and David Hyman. The Journal has also published work by practicing lawyers such as William Barker, Douglas Richmond and the Insurance Law Center's own Robert Googins and John Day. 

Founded and edited by University of Connecticut law students, the Journal serves an important educational function as well. Students work closely with faculty to solicit and select articles for publication. Students work closely with authors to prepare articles for publication. Students also write and edit their own Notes and Commentaries for the Journal. Insurance LL.M. students are encouraged to submit their theses for publication and to participate in the editorial and publishing functions of the Journal.
