AADC 2022 Membership Brochure

The Arizona Association of Defense Counsel has been the leading professional association for civil defense lawyers practicing in Arizona since 1965. Our membership includes over 600 private practice lawyers, in-house counsel, public sector lawyers and members of the judiciary. Past Presidents of the AADC include many notable Arizona attorneys including John Bouma, Michael Gallagher, James Teilborg, Michael Kennedy, and Barry Fish among many others.

We offer members a broad range of free CLE programs, networking events, educational opportunities, and resources intended to enhance knowledge, skills and camaraderie among AADC members. The AADC also plays a role in legislative and judicial development. As the Voice of the Defense Bar in Arizona, we espouse the defense viewpoint on cutting-edge issues in the state legislature and the courts.

The AADC is dedicated to the education, fellowship, and enrichment of its members and the judiciary and increasing community awareness of positive aspects of the legal profession.

The AADC strives to build an inclusive culture that thrives on diverse beliefs, perspectives, and experiences, and improve and foster the development of minority and underrepresented groups within the legal profession.
