The Federation of Defense and Corporate Counsel (the “FDCC”) is a not-for-profit corporation with a national and international membership comprised of more than 1,500 leading defense and corporate counsel working in private practice, as in-house counsel, and as insurance claims representatives.
Members are peer selected through a rigorous process evaluating both competence and commitment to
the judicial system. The FDCC constantly strives to protect the American system of justice. Since 1936, its members have established a strong legacy of representing the interests of civil defendants, including publicly and privately-owned businesses, public entities and individual defendants. The FDCC seeks to assist courts in addressing issues of importance to its membership that concern the fair and predictable administration of justice.
The Federation also leverages the intellectual capital and subject matter expertise of members within the 25 Substantive Law Sections organized in the areas of law of greatest relevance to the members and their respective clients. Members of the Sections collaborated to evaluate the events, court opinions, and other developments occurring in 2022, and to evaluate what lies ahead. We are pleased to share the collective experience and views of the membership in this report, and trust you will find it of interest and value.
