Established in 2012, the ACCC’s mission is to advance the creative, ethical, and efficient adjudication of insurance coverage and extra-contractual disputes; to enhance the civility and quality of the practice of insurance law; to provide peer-reviewed scholarship; and to improve the relationship between and among the members of the insurance law profession. The ACCC is comprised of experienced and recognized lawyers who have devoted most of their practice to insurance disputes for 15 years or more.
