Continued on Page 3 State Bar Forms Captive LANSING - Recognizing a need to provide continuing availability of coverage in a problem-plagued liability insurance market, the State Bar of Michigan has approved formation of a captive insurance company for its 24,000 members. Creation of the new captive insurance company (a company formed by a par- ticular group to write insurance coverage for the group's members) was authorized by the State Bar Board of Commissioners at a special meeting January 30. The ac- tion followed a year-long feasibility study by the organization's Professional Liabil- ity Insurance Committee, chaired by Lawrence R. Donaldson, a Detroit at- torney. Participation in the new liability in- surance plan will be voluntary for Michigan law firms and individual at- torneys. Donaldson said the captive insurance company is designed to satisfy two basic goals: 1. To assure availability of profes- sional liability insurance coverage for Michigan lawyers; and 2. To stabilize premiums over the long run. State Bar officials project 10 per- cent of the state's attorneys and law firms will switch from commercial insurance carriers to the new captive insurance program in the first year of operation. Our action was prompted by the in- creasing lack of stability in premium cost and availability of coverage for our members, said Julia Darlow,.State Bar president. These trends more and more reflect the cylical nature of the casualty insurance market everywhere.
