The Rule of Law is on the docket for the IADC. At the Midyear Meeting in La Quinta, California, we heard powerful personal statements from Immaculée Ilibagiza detailing how she survived the Rwandan genocide, and from Bill Browder, co-founder of Hermitage Capital Management, whose Russian tax lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was murdered due to corrupt government officials when he refused to perjure himself against his client. These accounts demonstrate the catastrophic damage that results from the absence of the Rule of Law. On April 26, 2018, Rod J. Rosenstein, United States Deputy Attorney General and second highest ranking legal official at the U.S. Department of Justice (USDOJ), will be the keynote speaker at the IADC Corporate Counsel College in Chicago, IL. Mr. Rosenstein will address the importance of the Rule of Law. Mr. Rosenstein’s unique position in the USDOJ will offer special insight into the complexities of the Rule of Law in the U.S. Lawyers may not always be held in the highest esteem by the general public. So, it was good to hear from the President of the American Bar Association, Hilarie Bass, at the recent ABOTA Roundtable Conference held in Washington, DC, attended by the leadership of the IADC, the sister defense associations, and the plaintiffs’ bar associations, that recent surveys show that lawyers are held in greater esteem today than at any other time in recent history because of the awareness that lawyers are important champions of the principles of democracy and the Rule of Law. Bass also referenced a recent report from the Law School Admission Council showing that, as of mid-January 2018, law school applications rose 11 percent from 2017, reversing a downward trend. U.S. News & World Report (January 29, 2018) reported that experts attribute the increase, in part, to the 2016 election and the many subsequent headlines involving lawyers and judges that have served to inspire young people because they realize that lawyers can make a difference. The critical importance of the Rule of Law is universal and seems to be in the headlines around the globe almost every day. For example, when the IADC recently held its Latin America Regional Meeting on March 21-22, in Lima, hosted by Domingo Rivarola Reisz, we witnessed the President of Peru, Pablo Kuczynski, resign his position on March 21, rather than face impeachment proceedings for corruption that were scheduled to begin on March 22, 2018. As trial lawyers and global advocates we may not find ourselves on the world stage as advocates for the Rule of Law. But, our importance to the preservation of the Rule of Law in the courtroom or arbitration proceeding on behalf of our clients cannot be undervalued. If our client does not obtain a fair hearing or trial, due to corruption or bias in the process or the failure of a judge or jury to follow the applicable law, then the undermining of the Rule of Law prejudices our client. The IADC is vigilant in offering resources to help our members to advance the Rule of Law on behalf of their clients. For example, the IADC offers outstanding appellate support through the efforts of our Amicus Committee led by Kendall Harrison. The IADC offers many platforms for keeping our members well-informed of the latest developments in the law impacting our practices, including free Webinars, Regional Meetings, monthly Committee newsletters, monthly Committee meeting calls, and articles in our preeminent peer-reviewed quarterly Defense Counsel Journal. This spring we are also offering a new half-day Corporate Counsel Training Academy the day before our Corporate Counsel College program in Chicago on April 25, 2018. This new, free Corporate Counsel Training Academy is designed to assist lawyers who have been working as in-house counsel for 0-3 years. The attendees will learn from seasoned corporate counsel about what it takes to succeed as in-house. Finally, Chris Kenney will lead the IADC’s crown jewel Trial Academy at Stanford University from July 28 to August 3, 2018. Nancy Erfle will serve as the Trial Academy Director-Elect. Last summer, registration for the Trial Academy closed out in the spring. So, register your young lawyers early for the invaluable learning experience that is gained by participating in a week long intensive trial program at Stanford University. The IADC Trial Academy is a win-win proposition. The lawyer that you select to attend the Trail Academy will enhance their trial skills and they will be grateful to you for identifying them as a rising star in your firm. The IADC’s Annual Meeting in Lisbon, Portugal, promises to be an exciting event for the entire family. My thanks to Steve Rosenhek and his CLE Steering Committee for their work in putting together an outstanding CLE program for the meeting and to Donna Lamontagne and Tom Patriarca for leading our meeting as General Convention Chairs. And thank you Manuel P. Barrocas, our Open Forum Chair from Lisbon, for obtaining the distinguished Mr. José Manuel Barroso as the Open Forum speaker. The social activities planned for the Annual Meeting will find us visiting some very interesting and historic venues in Lisbon. Lynn and I hope to see you there. - Andy Kopon

Rex Linder Receives Torchbearer Award
At the Midyear Meeting Past Presidents Dinner, President Andy Kopon presented IADC Past President Rex Linder with the Torchbearer Award. With this award, President Kopon wanted to recognize an IADC member who has carried the torch for the IADC high and bright for a long period of time. Rex and his wife, Laurie, have done just that. They have not missed an Annual or Midyear Meeting since Rex joined in 1985. Rex led the IADC as President in 1998-1999. Rex has brought three of his partners into the IADC, and they have been very active members. The IADC is a family effort for the Linders with their daughters Jamie and Stacie still active in the association. Stacie is married to IADC member Mark Hansen. Rex exhibits the best qualities of an IADC member and the IADC appreciates his past and continued dedication to the association. Congratulations, Rex!
