Friday, October 14, 2022Join the SC Bar CLE Division on Friday, October 14 for the 2022 Employment Law Essentials Seminar. This full day course, planned by attorneys Nekki Shutt and George Reeves, will feature practitioners in this practice area whose goal is to provide instruction on how to handle cases in the employment law arena.
This seminar is a basic level program.
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.
All essentials’ programs will be held live at the SC Bar Conference Center, Columbia.
·
Programs
will not be available via live webcast.
·
Lunch
will be provided for those attending in-person.
·
In-person
attendees will be offered significant discounts on SC Bar CLE publications.
