In November of 1995, the National Structured Settlement Trade Association (NSSTA), in conjunction with the University of Notre Dame, conferred upon Mr. Meligan the designation of Certified Structured Settlement Consultant (CSSC), in recognition of his successful completion of more than 60 hours of course study culminating in a comprehensive examination covering such topics as insurance casualty claims practice, state and federal laws pertaining to tort settlements, medical reversionary and special needs trusts, macroeconomics, the art of negotiation and business ethics. Jack is one of only ninety-seven industry professionals from across the country to have earned this designation.

In July 1996, Mr. Meligan was accepted into membership of the American College of Forensic Examiners (ACFE). The ACFE recognizes experience and education of individuals engaged in forensic examinations covering multidisciplinary training in medical, scientific and investigative sciences. The ACFE is comprised of a collective group of professionals actively engaged in the field of forensic examination and consultation.
