The mission of the Publications Committee is to disseminate scholarly writing on various topics that affect the practice of the civil defense bar, primarily through its well respected publication, “The Defendant”. The mission also includes the encouragement of defense professionals to submit articles for publication, to enhance the defense bar’s knowledge and competence in the defense of civil cases. On an ongoing basis, members and the Bar are invited to submit articles for potential publication in the Defendant; contact Vincent P. Pozzuto at VPozzuto@cozen.com with articles or proposals. The Committee is comprised of Chair Vincent P. Pozzuto of Cozen O’Connor, Emeritus Chair John J. McDonough of London Fischer LLP, and Bradley J. Corsair of Kowalski & DeVito. DANY wishes to recognize Past President Mr. McDonough for his service as Chair and Chief Editor of the Defendant from 1990 to 2020. |
