Among the items discussed were the proposals set forth by the Iowa Medical Society. (A com- plete copy was sent each member). As a result of the debate the Board passed two resolutions. The first resolution passed read: RESOLVED that the Board of Gover- nors reaffirm existing Board policies opposing caps on damage awards and opposing limits on plaintiff's attorney contingency fees and that The Iowa State Bar ssoclation ac- tively oppose legis! live efforts to modify the present tort reparation system. The second resolution Is as follows: WHEREAS it is the desire of The Iowa State Bar Association to further the interest of the people of the State of Iowa. IT IS THEREFORE RESOLVED that SYSTEM, continued on page 4 The Board of Governors voted at the December 10-11, 1985 meeting to re- new the endorsement for another year the Home Insurance Company as the Association's endorsed lawyer liabil- ity insurance carrier. The Board first endorsed Home at its November 30-December 1, 1984 meeting. The Board vote approved the recommenda- tion of the Lawyers Professional Liability Committee of the Association. The Committee's report to the Board showed that Association members who wrote coverage through Home after the Board's endorsement saved over 3 million dollars in premiums in calendar year 1985. The savings were calculated by computing what the members would have paid the pre- viously endorsed carrier using its quoted rates and the amount which was actually paid to the Home Insur- ance Company. The endorsement renewal was ap- proved despite the Committee's report that 1986 insurance premiums for members insuring with the Home In- surance (the Bar endorsed carrier), will increasc approximately 55 percent in average cases. Factors which will af- fect your rates are: (1) A base rate (i.e., 100,000/300,000 with $1,000 deductible) increase of 35 percent will affect all lawyers insured by Home in Iowa; (2) A reduction in deductible credit by 10 percent will affect all lawyers in the plan; ENDORSEMENT, cont. on page 3
