Join
the SC Bar CLE Division on Thursday, September 9 for the 2021 Workers’ Compensation
Essentials Course. This full day program, planned by practitioners Neal Lourie
and Shannon Poteat, will feature practitioners in the field whose goal is to
provide you with practical advice on how to handle cases in the workers’ compensation
arena.
This seminar is a basic level program.
This program qualifies for 6.5 MCLE credit hours. SC Commission on CLE Course #: 217277E
Requirement 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.
By Order dated May 5, 2021, the
South Carolina Supreme Court has waived the requirement that new admittees
attend an Essentials Series course in-person at the SC Bar Conference
Center.Therefore, if you choose to
fulfill the requirement online, you may do so by completing a pre-recorded,
on-demand version of the program of your choice no later than the annual MCLE
filing deadline of March 1, 2022.Those
programs will be made available at a later date.
We will, however, offer
each of the Essentials Series programs, live, at the SC Bar Conference
Center.There are advantages to
attending in person.
Programs will not be available via live webcast but will be available on-demand.
In-person attendance will afford the opportunity to interact and network with the faculty.
By Commission rule, only live, in-person MCLE credit hours may be carried forward to the following MCLE reporting period.
Lunch will be provided for those attending in-person.
In-person attendees will be offered
significant discounts on SC Bar CLE publications.
