Featured seminar
“U North or True North?” The Challenges of Ethical Decision-Making for In-House Counsel
The role of in-house counsel presents a unique set of opportunities and challenges. We’ve found no better cinematic vehicle for illustrating the ethical and professional demands encountered by in-house counsel than the Oscar-nominated 2007 film Michael Clayton. This unique audience-participation format offers in-house counsel an opportunity to explore the inevitable professional demands and ethical challenges of corporate practice and the corresponding toll they can take on an attorney’s mental health. The practical insights participants will gain from this seminar are designed to help guard against personal and professional pitfalls that can lead to unethical and problematic behaviors, and are applicable in any in-house setting.

S.C. Bar Convention spotlight
Memory Hold the Door
In 1958, the S.C. Bar Association and the USC School of Law faculty established the memorial repository and endowment fund, Memory Hold the Door. The lawyers remembered through Memory Hold the Door represent an honor roll of the legal profession, selected by their peers as best exemplifying the qualities of integrity, professionalism and skill required of the bench and bar. The induction ceremony for this prestigious group is open to all Convention attendees, spouses and guests. After the ceremony, join us for the President’s Welcome Reception at the Columbia Museum of Art. To view the full agenda and a complete list of all Convention seminars, click here.
