    By Elliot Pisem and David E. Kahen | October 18, 2017

    By Kelsey Shannon and Martin Lynn | October 14, 2017

    Kelsey Shannon and Martin Lynn write: What does it take to qualify one's home as one's "residence?" The case law unfortunately does not provide much certainty.

    When Computer Fraud Is Not 'Computer Fraud'

    By Jeremy M. King | October 14, 2017

    Jeremy M. King writes: Surprisingly, many courts have found that "Computer Fraud" coverage does not apply to a common form of Internet fraud—the email scam—and coverage will depend upon the state's law that applies to the policy. Policyholders need to know the scope of the coverage they have purchased in order to determine whether they are exposed to risks that fall within less-than-obvious gaps in that coverage.
