The Foundation of the IADC seeks to have a significant impact on the civil justice system. It works to serve as a platform for educating the public and the legal community on current litigation issues and supporting the integrity of the legal system throughout the world. With the support of individual member, law firm, and corporate donations, The Foundation of the IADC continues to develop new projects and initiatives to advance the legal system.
In recent years, The Foundation launched
The Joan Fullam Irick Privacy Project, a three-volume assessment of current legal issues related to privacy. It supported the highly useful
Practical Guide for Insurance Defense Lawyers. The Foundation has been able to increase funds supporting the Gary Walker Memorial Scholarship for a deserving Trial Academy student. It sponsors highly respected speakers for the annual Foundation Forum, including our 2010 speaker, Honorable Sandra Day O'Connor, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States (Ret.).
Please make a contribution today and help The Foundation support the advancement of the civil justice system.
