Joseph Adama was the husband of Evelyn, father of William Adama, and a well-known, notorious civil liberties lawyer on Caprica ("Litmus", "The Son Also Rises").

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, which was returned to him after the mission's success (The Hand of God).

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).

Defense attorney Romo Lampkin was one of Joseph's students. Though Lampkin claims to have hated the man, he also admits to learning everything he knows about the law from him, and even carries a worn copy of "Law and Mind: The Psychology of Legal Practice" with him. After first meeting Lee, Lampkin claims that he looked like Joseph (The Son Also Rises).
