At the age of 21, David
Shulick had earned his JD from Temple University and had gone on to
become the youngest board member to serve on the Philadelphia Trial
Lawyers Association. For those who are unfamiliar with the
organization, the “About Us” section of the PTLA’s official
website describes the group as so:
“The Philadelphia Trial
Lawyers Association is an active professional organization comprised
of civil and criminal litigation attorneys. PTLA has been in
existence for over 50 years and is the oldest trial lawyer
organization in Pennsylvania. The association is made up of
lawyers who are dedicated to the preservation of the American legal
system and the protection of the evolution of the common law through
the efforts of individual lawyers who are pledged to achieving common
goals.
The Association is noted for
its educational influence and its goals of helping all lawyers to
ultimately serve the interests of their clients in a fair and
productive manner. Accredited as a provider by the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania Continuing Legal Education Board, PTLA sponsors
an outstanding Luncheon
Lecture Series, as well as the numerous
seminars of interest to trial attorneys.
PTLA also promotes legal
education through its James J. Manderino Awards for Trial Advocacy
which are awarded on a yearly basis to outstanding law school
seniors. PTLA presents an annual award in memory of Justice
Michael A. Musmanno to an outstanding
citizen who best exemplifies the ideal of the late Justice.
The Philadelphia Trial
Lawyers Association is an organization that has sought to protect the
rights of all individuals, be it in the civil or criminal fields of
jurisprudence, and continues to be a growing and vital force in the
Philadelphia Community.”
