Whether you are an attorney who may be just opening a family law practice or an attorney who handles the occasional Family Court matter, Family Law Essentials: A Primer for Private Practice Before the Family Court in South Carolina is designed to be a practical, easy-to-use reference for all attorneys who practice in the Family Court. Family Law Essentials draws upon decades of practical experience, combined with advice contained in the annals of the South Carolina Bar's CLE Division. Divided into three Sections, this valuable resource provides practitioners with tips and pointers for a more efficient and effective family law practice, along with quick explanations of the law and procedure in Family Court:

- Section 3 is a practical road map of trying a Family Court case, from filing the Summons and Complaint to drafting the Final Order.
