The Louisiana Association of Defense Counsel

We are an organization of over 1,100 Louisiana lawyers who are primarily engaged in the defense of civil litigation. Founded in 1963, the LADC endeavors to create quality CLE tailored to individual practices while educating and training our members. We have enjoyed spectacular growth and today provide our members with monthly updates on case law through our newsletter. We present educational programs and training throughout the year to provide our members with the knowledge and skills to be among the top litigators in the region. We are proud to be one of the largest defense-lawyer organizations in the United States and to have been recognized as an outstanding defense organization in the country by the Defense Research Institute.

YLC 'Ween Dream Costume Drive -- Nov 1 thru Dec 12

Now that Halloween is over, are you wondering where you can possibly find space to store the costumes the kids in your life wore this year—or, worse, the costumes they told you at the last minute they no longer wanted to wear? You’re in luck because, from November 1st through December 12th, the Young Lawyers Committee is sponsoring a Halloween costume drive in support of 'Ween Dream. ‘Ween Dream is an awesome, all-volunteer Louisiana nonprofit that gives free Halloween costumes to children across the country who are facing unique challenges; this includes children with special needs, those living at or below the poverty line, and children who are unhoused, in the foster care system, living with serious medical issues, and/or dealing with recent trauma or natural disasters. Please consider supporting the Young Lawyers Committee and ‘Ween Dream by donating new or gently-used costumes in support of this great cause! Learn how to donate!

Enjoy warm weather, bustling events, vibrant outdoor activities and shopping in towns like Oak Buffs and Edgartown. Kick off your summer with the LADC at the Winnetu Oceanside Resort. By registering you get access to a welcome reception, 8 hours of CLE (professionalism and ethics included), 4 hours of Zoom CLE (later in the year), Wednesday Clambake and Lobster Dinner, Breakfast Buffets, and other summer activities. Find more information from our Brochure. Be sure to register now
