Joseph Adama was the father of William Adama. He apparently hailed from Caprica. Adama was a civil liberties lawyer (Litmus).

William remarked that he thought Joseph was a better father than he ever was (The Hand of God). Joseph always carried a silver lighter into his cases; he considered it good luck, and claimed he only lost a case when he left it at home. He later gave it to William, who, after the holocaust, loaned it to his own son as a token of luck for a crucial mission (The Hand of God). It was returned to him after the mission's success.

Before going to trial Joseph would aways break pencils before entering the courtroom as a reminder to "break preconceptions" and "work with what you had." He would then ask to borrow a pencil from the clerk. William told Laura Roslin about this ritual before her upcoming Presidential debate, leading her to try it herself (Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I).

Joseph's wife was named Evelyn.

Defense attorney Romo Lampkin was one of Adama's students. Though Lampkin claims to have hated the man, he also admits to learning everything he knows about the law from him (The Son Also Rises).
