About the Seminar
Join the Criminal Law section and Circuit Court Judges for an engaging discussion on the latest hot topic issues in criminal law. Judge William McKinnon, Senator Micah Caskey and Senator Gerald Malloy will kick off the afternoon by providing judicial and legislative law updates. The program will then pivot to ways to speed up the docket, including plea affidavits in transfer court and meaningfully using SC Code 17-23-120-150 for paper pleas for General Sessions Court. Also covered during this hour will be indictments, their sufficiency, and what motions you can make involving them. The last hour will include in part, an ethics discussion on civility and the Lawyers Oath: “To opposing parties and their counsel, I pledge fairness, integrity, and civility, not only in court, but also in all written and oral communications.” The last half will focus on a substance abuse/mental health talk about the docket backlog, the impact this has had on lawyers, how judges and lawyers can recognize these issues and how to deal with it. This program will feature a long cast of great speakers and great topics that you do not want to miss!
