DID YOU KNOW: The NJ DOBI has acted in a timely manner to regulate insurance companies’ use of AI in order to protect consumers. In our latest New Jersey Alert, Robert Chesler and Cort Malone discuss, "New Jersey Adopts NAIC Protocol for Use of AI in Insurance" While recognizing that insurance companies are either already using or experimenting with AI for both underwriting and claims handling, and knowing with certainty that the use of AI by the insurance industry will continue to grow, the duo express that "this poses both possibilities and perils for consumers."? Chesler and Malone note that, "Insurance companies’ decision-making processes in determining coverage for claims is already opaque, and the increased use of AI Systems surely will create new barriers and challenges to understanding exactly how claim determinations are being made.?This is why it is so critical that the NJ DOBI regulations prioritize accountability and explainability.?They also emphasize the importance of human involvement in AI decision-making."

DID YOU KNOW: The?U.S. Department of Justice is?seeking?to dismiss the?political corruption indictment?against New York City Mayor Eric Adams? In his new Law360 article, "What SDNY Judge Can And Can't Do In Adams Case," Ethan Greenberg expresses that Judge Ho ultimately lacks the authority to compel the prosecution to go forward with the case against Adams. Ethan explains "why it is that under our constitutional system of separation of powers — in which prosecutors have broad discretion to choose whether or not to prosecute cases — Judge Ho ultimately lacks the authority to compel the prosecution to go forward with the case against Adams."

Do you know what the Top Twelve Insurance Coverage Decisions Of 2024 were? In their recent article in LexisNexis Mealey's Litigation Report, Robert Chesler, Seán McCabe, Madilynne Lee, and James Goodridge lay them out. They open by noting: "In 2024, policyholders attempted to find coverage for newly developing torts under general liability policies, but largely without success. Policyholders suffered defeats on coverage for opioids, lead paint, greenhouse gases, and sex abuse allegations, as courts refused to extend the coverage afforded by the general liability policy to policyholders’ evolving liabilities. This is a troubling development, as the protection afforded by the general liability policy is supposed to evolve to match the changing liabilities of policyholders. We expect that 2025 will see continued battles for coverage in these areas."

In their new Law360 article, "Appealing An Interlocutory Order On Insurer Duty To Defend", Carrie Maylor DiCanio and Neil Schur review the rules that govern whether an order is immediately appealable in federal court. The pair note, "[b]ased on these cases, there is a good argument that a circuit court has jurisdiction over the appeal of an order denying a motion for an insurance company to defend the policyholder in ongoing litigation where the order refuses to require the insurance company to pay the policyholder's defense costs prospectively." Additionally, the duo outline three important lessons that a policyholder seeking a ruling on its insurance company's duty to defend can draw from recent decisions of several circuit courts.
