Product Details
South Carolina's trust accounting rules are not designed to make your life more difficult, but rather to protect you and your clients from costly mistakes. The Supreme Court of South Carolina explains that the recordkeeping compliance protects lawyers who obey the rule because they always have detailed records to show how client funds and the funds of others were maintained and distributed. A thorough understanding of, and strict compliance with, RPC Rule 1.15, Rule 412, and Rule 417 can help ensure that client funds are kept safe from errors and theft. This program presents the basic principles of good trust account management and provides practical tips for maintaining the integrity of client funds and avoiding discipline.
