A MESSAGE FROM THE ADC PRESIDENT:Your valued membership in the Association of Defense Counsel of Northern California and Nevada (ADC) automatically makes you a member of the California Defense Counsel (CDC). CDC is the political and legislative arm of the ADC and our sister organization in the south, the Association of Southern California Defense Counsel. The current President of CDC is former ADC President David Daniels of Roseville. CDC is the only organization in Sacramento exclusively dedicated to representing the interests of civil defense practitioners in California. In the unprecedented times we find ourselves, CDC is working with the Judicial Council and Governor's office to protect access to justice in light of court closures and limited availability of court services. The CDC and the Consumer Attorneys of California jointly submitted a MEMORANDUM, requesting Governor Newsom to issue an emergency order addressing several important issues. This memorandum was the subject of the Daily Journal's lead article last Friday. Since this memorandum was sent, Governor Newsom issued this ORDER on Friday, March 27, 2020 enabling California Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye to take emergency actions for the state's courts to be able to conduct business during the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 30, 2020, the Chief Justice issued this ORDER which is further described in the ADC Newsflash. Renee Welze Livingston |
