The Judicial System and the Law of Life Insurance, 1888-1910*

Business History Review, 1961, vol. 35, issue 3, 317-335

Abstract: Despite a widely prevailing judicial insensitivity to corporate reform and regulation, the large insurance companies found themselves under careful, constant, and not always sympathetic legal scrutiny. This scrutiny tended to emphasize the equity rather than the letter of the law, and kept the insurance contract the flexible servant of a dynamic society and industry.
