Attending a Seminar
Most SC Bar CLE Live Seminars are offered live at the SC Bar Conference Center located at 1501 Park Street in Columbia, SC. Many programs are also offered for in-person attendance at various satellite locations around the state. For a list of locations for each program, refer to the individual program web page entry. You may choose your satellite location when you register for the program.
Each seminar location will have a sign-in sheet at the seminar registration table. Make sure that you check-in/sign-in to the program by providing your signature and verifying your Bar number. We will report your attendance to the full program attendance to the Commission on CLE within thirty (30) days of the program date.

I am very appreciative of what I have and credit a great deal of my success to the education that I received through various CLE courses. I want to be able to help attorneys who could use some assistance in getting the continued education they need. This economy has presented the profession with issues we have not seen before. Many of our colleagues are struggling. This is just one way that I can help.
