    Demystifying Judicial Clerkships

    Thursday, November 21st, 2024

    12:30 PM - 01:30 PM


    Thomas J. Meskill Law Library

    Demystifying Judicial Clerkships

    Presented by the Clerkship Committee and the Center for Career Development

    About the Program: Members of the UConn Law Clerkship Committee as well as recent alumni will speak and answer questions about judicial clerkships and the application process in an informal setting. There will be a focus on action steps for law students seeking positions in the fall of 2026 (predominantly 2L day and 3L evening division students), including planning for letters of recommendation and selecting and finalizing writing samples. Students interested in clerkships in 2025 (3LD/4LE) and 2026 (2LD/3LE) are encouraged to attend.

    *A note on the clerkship application timeline: while exact application deadlines vary, clerkship applications are generally due about one year in advance of the clerkship (late spring/early summer of 2LD/3LE year). However, there are additional clerkship opportunities with application deadlines in students’ 3LD/4LE year.

  3. Nov 21 Leveraging Insurance Contracts for Climate Action 4:00pm

    Leveraging Insurance Contracts for Climate Action

    Thursday, November 21st, 2024

    04:00 PM - 05:00 PM


    UConn Law

    Leveraging Insurance Contracts for Climate Action

    The contractual relationships between an insurer and its policyholders contains enormous potential for insurers to support their policyholders to reduce environmentally harmful activities and take adaptation measures that make their property more resilient to climate risks. But there are important legal pitfalls here as well. This talk examines enabling approaches throughout the policy life cycle, including raising policyholder awareness of climate risk and climate change mitigation/adaptation measures, assessing policyholders’ climate-related risk profiles at the pre-contractual stage, price signalling, exercising influence through terms and conditions, and green claims and reinstatement.

    Recommended Reading: Franziska Arnold-Dwyer, A Legal Framework for Net Zero Aligned Insurance Products, 29 Conn. Ins. L.J. 1 (2022-3).
