Sections & Committees

Section Information

As a professional, it is important for you to meet and work with other lawyers who share your interests, needs and concerns. Membership in one or more of the Bar's 18 Sections offers you the opportunity to meet and work with those lawyers and allows you to build upon your basic Bar membership to meet the specific needs of your practice.
 

Committee Information

Nearly all Bar committees are filled by appointment of the president-elect and terms are for one year. Other opportunities include joining the speakers bureau, judging a High School or Middle School Mock Trial or submitting an article for the South Carolina Lawyer.
