Mark your calendar for Thursday, August 15 to attend the 2024 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, and for newly admitted attorneys in the Essentials Committee only.
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 webinar.
Lunch
will be provided for those attending in-person.
In-person
attendees will be offered discounts on SC Bar CLE publications.
