The MBA presents a two-hour program on Employee Retirement
Income Security Act (ERISA) insurance litigation. ERISA broadly preempts
otherwise applicable state law and gives the federal courts jurisdiction over
most lawsuits relating to group health, disability and life insurance. Many
practitioners are unaware of ERISA's significant impact on such lawsuits -
until it is too late.
A vast body of case law exists regarding a myriad of ERISA
issues, including preemption, removal, exhaustion, time limitations, standard
of review, discovery limitations and no jury trials. This program will address
these and other issues, including recent developments. The class will be
presented by Megan Glor, Attorney at Law and Katherine Somervell
of Bullivant Houser Bailey. Any attorney who may be involved in litigation
relating to group health, disability or life insurance should attend this
program.
