About the Seminar
The SC Bar CLE Division is pleased to present the 2016 edition of the annual Masters in Equity Bench Bar seminar. Dorchester County Master in Equity Judge James Chellis has designed a terrific program featuring a distinguished faculty of experienced practitioners and judges who will share their insights on key areas of equity practice and ethical representation.
This year's program continues to emphasize the theme of “best practices” in equity court by bringing judges and practitioners together to explore ways to make our courts of equity more efficient and effective. Topics include special confidential relationships, judicial powers, equitable indemnity and secondary liability, after death accrual of interest, the obligation of good faith and fair dealing, determining fair value on the dissolution of an LLC, several important case law updates, and a special presentation by Steve Spitz on his two favorite all-time equity cases. In addition, this year's program will include several powerful ethics presentations and tips on effective order writing by Court of Appeals Judge Aphrodite Konduros.
