The Arkansas Association of Defense Counsel is an organization of lawyers in Arkansas whose work focuses primarily on defense litigation, and this site serves as a resource for the exchange of ideas, news and legal information.

The AADC strives to bring together Arkansas lawyers who devote a substantial amount of their professional time to the handling of litigated cases and whose representation in such cases is primarily for the defense.

The objectives of our association include the following:

• Provide for the exchange of information, ideas, techniques of procedure and information on court rulings relating to the handling of litigation
• Elevate the standards of trial practice in this area
• Develop, establish and secure court adoption or approval of high standard code of trial conduct and courtroom manners
• Support and work for the improvement of the adversary system of jurisprudence in our courts
• Cooperate with programs of public education directed toward highway and industrial safety and the reduction of costs resulting from highway, industrial and other casualties
• Work for the elimination of court congestion and delays in civil litigation and to increase the quantity and quality of the service and contribution which the legal profession renders to the community, state and nation
