On June 5, 2018, WCM Partner Bob Cosgrove was elected to the presidency of the Philadelphia Association of Defense Counsel at the PADC’s annual meeting. Founded in 1947, the PADC is the oldest continuously operating local defense organization in the US. The PADC’s mission, as set forth in its by-laws, is to “to protect and advance the interests of civil defendants and their counsel; to disseminate knowledge and information within the defense trial bar; to foster cooperation and good fellowship among members of this Association; to act as an organized spokesman for defendants and their interest in the administration of justice; and to encourage compliance with the highest standards of professional conduct.” The PADC has active judicial relations, amicus and community service committees and also hosts monthly CLE lunches on various topics of interest to the defense community.
