2023 Family Law Essentials Out of Stock

Product Details

About the Seminar
Join the SC Bar CLE Division for the Family Law Essentials Course. This full day program, planned by Jonathan Lounsberry and Mary Fran Quindlen will feature practitioners and authorities in their fields whose goal is to provide you with practical advice on how to handle cases in the family arena.

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.
