The second section will address evolving legal malpractice issues related to changing technology and lawyers' use of social media both in marketing and litigation and how such use should be guided by the Rules of Professional Conduct.

While it is not clear exactly when South Carolina courts first recognized a client's malpractice cause of action against his attorney, the legal malpractice claim in our state dates back to at least the early-to-mid-1800s. In the more than 180 years since the court decided the case of Johnson v. Monro there have been significant developments in the law of legal malpractice in South Carolina. Much of that development has taken place in the last twenty years and, based upon trends in legal malpractice cases across the country, it is likely that appellate courts will continue to be called upon to decide issues relating to attorney malpractice.
For better or worse, it appears legal malpractice claims- both in South Carolina and across the nation- are here to stay. This book will serve as a useful and accessible resource for attorneys and insurance professionals addressing issues related to legal malpractice in South Carolina.
