Shake, Rattle, and Roll: Developing Seismic Levels of Experiential Contract Analysis Skills with an Earthquake Insurance Policy
Anderson, Bradford P.
Journal of Legal Studies Education, v39 n2 p87-125 Sum 2022
This article demonstrates how, and provides all necessary material, to utilize experiential classroom integration of an earthquake insurance policy as an engaging and immersive tool to introduce business law students to applied contract analysis and interpretation. Students also gain an understanding of insurance concepts through this exercise. This exercise engages students in collaborative problem-solving via a small group project and is designed for use in a single class session, combining teamwork, communication, and contract analysis skills. Through detailed detective work to locate relevant contract terms and application of various factual scenarios, this project involves the applied development of problem-solving skills associated with multiple scenarios and reinforces logic practices by requiring students to justify their conclusions. Most importantly, students gain skills in navigating a complex contract like an insurance policy that translate into a valuable talent for the nascent businessperson.
