Join course planners Nekki Shutt and George Reeves, along with a distinguished faculty of employment law attorneys and  Annie Day Bame, for an interactive and practical guide through key aspects of employment litigation.

This course is designed to provide step-by-step instruction for both new and experienced lawyers who represent plaintiffs and businesses in the challenging field of employment law. The program begins with a review and analysis of a typical employment dispute, followed by guidance on client intake and unemployment claims from both plaintiff and defense perspectives.

The course then covers potential involvement by the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (LLR), as well as the South Carolina Human Affairs Commission (SHAC) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), before moving on to discovery. Annie Day Bame  will offer valuable judicial insights on employment litigation, and experienced mediator Frank Shuler will provide advice on effectively representing clients in mediation.
Whether you are a new employment attorney or looking for a refresher on key elements of employment litigation, this seminar is for you.

This seminar is a basic level program.

 

For those required to take South Carolina Bar CLE “Essentials Series.”

 

Pursuant to SCACR Rule 408(a)(3), newly admitted members are required, unless you fall within one or more of the exemptions outlined in Rule 408 (a)(3)(A)-(D), to complete one (not all) of the SC Bar CLE “Essentials Series” courses. Attendance at Essentials Courses not only meets the Essentials requirement, but also counts toward your required annual 14 hours of MCLE. No other CLE course, workshop, video series (i.e., the Supreme Court’s Course of Study), or bootcamp will satisfy this requirement.

 

The “Essentials Series” is comprised of 10 full-day courses, which cover major practice areas, as well as legal ethics. Each course is designed and taught by experienced practitioners, are process oriented, and are specifically designed to provide step-by-step teaching, as well as the opportunity to interact with the faculty.

 

All essentials’ programs will be held live at the SC Bar Conference Center, Columbia.

 

Programs will not be available via live webinar.

Lunch will be provided for those attending in-person.

In-person attendees will be offered discounts on SC Bar CLE publications.
