IDC Political Action Committee
The Defense Trial Counsels' PAC is a committee of IDC that is separately constituted for the purpose of serving the membership in the political arenas. It is dedicated to the consideration of supporting candidates standing for election to legislative and judicial positions in state and local elections, and to participation in the political process when opportunities arise to appear at functions and discuss with candidates and political leaders the role of IDC in the political process. IDC PAC does not have the financial resources to command the attention that the mere contribution of campaign contributions can have; instead, IDC PAC relies on the membership to contribute legal expertise to legislative committees and political leaders to maintain its envied image of whole-hearted support for the legal system, demanding a level playing field, preserving the right to a jury trial, and refusing participation in unfair single purpose partisan agendas. IDC PAC is funded by voluntary and generally quite modest contributions by the civil trial defense community including of course IDC members. IDC PAC is managed by a board of directors all of whom are past presidents of IDC.
