Cipriani & Werner of counsel Peter Samson died Aug. 17 at age 67.
He focused his practice on medical malpractice and defending universities in education law matters such as employment litigation, according to Cipriani & Werner’s website. His medical malpractice clients were typically physicians associated with teaching hospitals and medical schools or insured by major medical professional liability insurance carriers.
Samson was past president of the Philadelphia Association of Defense Counsel and spent nine years chairing the Disciplinary Board of Pennsylvania hearing committee. He also acted as adjunct professor at Temple University Beasley School of Law.
In addition to his work teaching at Temple, Samson taught trial practice and litigation skills for the National Institute of Trial Advocacy, Pennsylvania Bar Institute, Pennsylvania Defense Institute and the Philadelphia Association of Defense Counsel.
According to his obituary on Phillylacrosse.com, Samson began his career in law with the Defender Association of Philadelphia, then worked at White and Williams before joining Cipriani & Werner.
Samson graduated from New England School of Law in 1976.
Outside of his legal practice, Samson was active in the Philadelphia-area lacrosse community, having founded a Radnor youth lacrosse league and the Katie Samson Lacrosse Festival and Foundation.
John F. Hayes II, co-managing partner at Cipriani & Werner, said in a statement, “We are all deeply affected and saddened and still in shock about the tragic loss of our friend Pete. … He had a kind and humble and humorous spirit. His prowess on the lacrosse field was exceeded only by his ability in the courtroom. His vast successes as a trial lawyer made him a great mentor and a helpful strategist to his peers.”
