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). William's son, Lee Adama, would repeatedly visit Joseph during his youth, sneaking a peek at Joseph's various law books (A Day in the Life), and Joseph would repeatedly wave Lee over, telling him "Lee, be a good boy. Just don't be too good." (The Son Also Rises)
During his tenure, defense attorney Romo Lampkin was one of Joseph's students, likely meeting him while working in one of Caprica's civil litigation offices. Though Lampkin claims to have hated the man "because he was right" about the law, 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).
The notorious lawyer
Joseph believed that law was a way of exorcising everyone's demons, a belief that lead him to defend "the worst of the worst". According to Lee, he remembered reading about how Joseph let "murders go free", though never understanding why Joseph put himself through the abuse. In a discussion with Lampkin, it is revealed to Lee that Joseph sought to understand the motivations that cause people to cheat, why people reward their enemies, go to war, and why people build machines to correct their flaws and shortcomings (The Son Also Rises).
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).
