The Legal Ethics and Practice Program (LEAPP) is a collaborative effort between the Office of Disciplinary Counsel to the Supreme Court of South Carolina and the Professional Responsibility Committee and CLE Division of the South Carolina Bar.  LEAPP is a four-part program that is held multiple times each year.  LEAPP is a comprehensive exploration of the fundamentals of legal ethics designed for lawyers and other legal professionals at any career stage. The faculty includes knowledgeable and experienced members of the Bar who deal with various aspects of lawyer discipline cases and matters involving ethics, professionalism, and legal malpractice.

 

LEAPP Ethics School is (5.75 hour) program in which the faculty reviews the Rules of Professional Conduct, giving special attention to those provisions that commonly give rise to disciplinary complaints, including lawyer-client relations, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, and litigation ethics. Participatory discussion focuses hypotheticals based on actual disciplinary cases.
