The Knee Center
David Cooper

owns and operates The Knee Center in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. He is a graduate of Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia and the Jefferson Orthopedic residency. Dr. Cooper entered private practice as a general orthopedic surgeon in Lansdale, Pennsylvania after serving our country for eight years as a U.S. Navy Reserve medical officer. For four years, Dr. Cooper performed all types of orthopedic surgery, including neck and low back laminectomies and fusions, along with extensive open and closed fracture care. In 1980, he was recruited by Geisinger to open the orthopedic department at the Geisinger Wyoming Valley Hospital in Wilkes-Barre, where he was one of the first orthopedic surgeons in the valley to introduce knee replacements and arthroscopic surgery. In 1981, Dr. Cooper opened The Knee Center in Wilkes-Barre to further specialize in the care and treatment of knee and lower extremity disorders. He has personally performed more than 6,000 arthroscopic surgeries, ligament repairs and knee replacements. In terms of actually performing surgeries as opposed to having interns and residents handle the cases, Dr. Cooper is one of the most experienced knee surgeons in the world, as well as being board-certified for life by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery, the highest honor that any medical specialist practicing in the U.S. can obtain. As a sought after speaker by many national organizations, he has spoken at the national conferences of the American Bar Association and the Risk Insurance Management Society national meetings in New Orleans and Atlanta. Dr. Cooper is an adjunct professor at Binghamton University and Kings University. He is also a frequent guest lecturer at Binghamton University, Kings University and the University of Scranton.

JEK Law
Jennifer El-Kadi

is a litigation attorney and founder of JEK Law, where she advocates for survivors of sex abuse and human trafficking, as well as individuals injured in motor vehicle accidents. Her practice is rooted in the belief that those who have been silenced or harmed deserve fierce, trauma-informed legal representation-and she brings both compassion and precision to every case she handles. Ms. El-Kadi has built her career fighting for plaintiffs who cannot fight for themselves. She previously served as Partner and Chief Operating Officer at Babin Law, where she led the firm's Human Trafficking Department and helped file the first civil TVPRA lawsuit in the country. Under her leadership, the docket expanded from 100 to more than 2,100 active cases. She helped coordinate national litigation strategy across jurisdictions after the denial of MDL centralization, spearheading complex multi-defendant actions against corporate enablers and contributing to early case law development under the TVPRA and CAVRA. In addition to her leadership in sex abuse litigation, Ms. El-Kadi provides high-quality co-counsel support to firms nationwide-stepping in on an overflow or project basis to draft complaints, discovery, and motions, and guide litigation strategy in high-stakes cases. Her background spans personal injury, mass torts, and trauma-informed justice alternatives. As COO at Babin Law, she scaled national dockets involving Uber, Lyft, NEC, Hernia Mesh, CPAP, Hair Relaxer, and Valsartan, optimizing intake workflows and CRM systems. She also clerked under Judge Zottola in Pennsylvania's Veterans Court, where she supported diversion programs for justice-involved veterans facing service-related trauma.
