Kenneth S. Butensky, President
As your President, I look forward to continuing PADC’s traditional role in serving our membership in productive and helpful ways. Working with our Programs Committee, I look forward to the accredited Continuing Legal Education (CLE) programs and other opportunities we will be offering this year. These will be a mix of virtual and in-person events. PADC will also continue to work with other bar organizations on joint CLE programming.
History
It was shortly after World War II that Attorney Ralph Croskey led a movement of prominent Philadelphia defense lawyers to form an organization as a social club for those practicing in tort and insurance law.
Minutes of those organizational days and the days that followed are lost in history, but recollections from members of today's defense bar have Mr. Croskey as first president and the guiding force of the Philadelphia Association of Defense Counsel (PADC) for some 20 years.
