The Insurance Law Center presents the 2017 Insurance Law Conference at the University of Connecticut School of Law. Please join us for a keynote address by Michael McRaith, former Director of the Federal Insurance Office, and panels featuring insurance regulators and academics debating insurance and insurance regulation under the Trump Administration.
