George Kenny, a partner in Connell Foley LLP’s Insurance Coverage Group, recently co-authored, along with Frank Lattal, the 2024 edition of New Jersey Insurance Law, the state's leading publication on insurance law.
Mr. Kenny and Mr. Lattal, a former Connell Foley partner and the retired Chief Claims Officer for Chubb Group, have co-authored this publication every year since its debut in 1993. The New Jersey Supreme Court and Appellate Division often cite it, and it has become the standard insurance reference text for judges in New Jersey.
As summarized by the publication, New Jersey Insurance Law provides comprehensive, accurate and in-depth information about insurance policies, issues and law in New Jersey. This annual paperback provides the most up-to-date information in the most reader-friendly format.
"Each year, New Jersey Insurance Law includes all reported New Jersey insurance law cases decided during the prior year so that the latest edition is always current. Chapters are expanded and revised each year, to ensure the current law is presented in easily accessible form to assist in further research and, if desired, cited to the court. New Jersey Insurance Law has been cited on many occasions by the appellate courts of New Jersey."
