Who is The Fund? Why are they helping to create this class?

The Attorneys' Title Insurance Fund, Inc. (The Fund) works to manage practices of real estate attorneys. They are the largest title insurance underwriter in the state of Florida (6th Nationwide). One of their goals is to serve and protect the public by providing educational support and development.
