The conference room turned into a studio (complete with gaffer tape, left foreground) when Jason Newfield presented a 90 minute webinar for the National Academy of Continuing Legal Education. His presentation, which will be available as a CLE course on NACLE’s website in the near future, addressed the issues facing claimants and attorneys in ERISA and private or individual claims disputes. This thorough examination of how the disability claims process works, including the ERISA appeals process and strategies, and the pitfalls commonly faced by claimants serves as an introduction to a complex area of insurance law and ERISA.
