New Ohio Supreme Court attorney specialization

On June 25, 2010, the Ohio Supreme Court's Commission on Certification of Attorneys as Specialists proposed insurance coverage law as a specialty area in Ohio being defined as:that area of law involving issues between insurers and policy holders concerning the rights and responsibilities that arise under insurance policies, including the duty of good faith.


CCAS was established in 1993 to identify specialty areas and to set minimum standards for certification as specialists. After a specialty area definition recommended by the CCAS has been approved by the Court, agencies that have programs of certification in the defined area apply to the CCAS for recognition that their program meets the minimum standards. By this process, the agency that applied is approved to certify Ohio attorneys as specialists in the field of law.


It will now be accepting public comment on the insurance law proposal until March 29, 2011 (Announcement )
