Our faculty are committed to process-driven teaching that makes practical application the key component of the seminar. Don’t miss this opportunity to “get the basics” or “get back to the basics” of Criminal Law.
This program is a basic level.
This program qualifies for 6.5 MCLE
SC Supreme Commission on CLE Course #254328E
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.
