Employment and Labor Law Section

Section Goals
•    Conduct a Section CLE at the 2011 Bar Convention. This seminar will be videotaped and offered for CLE credit at a later date.
•    Sponsor a half-day or full-day CLE in Columbia in the summer of 2011 that offers specialization credit.
•    Continue to coordinate the NC/SC Joint Labor and Employment Law annual program.  This program will be videotaped and offered for CLE credit at a later date.
•    Continue to promote Employment and Labor Law specialization through communication to Section members.
•    Continue to publish a periodic newsletter.  In addition, and as a service to the members of the Bar and the public at large, the Section will make its newsletter available in an electronic format to all those who indicate an interest for the publication.  
•    Continue to strive to increase membership by offering one free year of membership to all new Bar members and compiling informational materials to be distributed at Bridge the Gap.
•    Provide a discount to Section members on the Labor and Employment Law for South Carolina Lawyers publication and any additional updates.
•    Continue to update members through the Section listserv and Bar Web site.
•    Continue to invigorate the subcommittee structure, primarily by looking to the subcommittee chairs for substantive articles for the Section newsletter and assistance in locating speakers for Employment and Labor Law-related continuing legal education.  
•    Reimburse registration fees, hotel expenses and a per diem for the Section Chair to attend the annual NC/SC Joint Labor and Employment Law seminar.
•    Take a constructive look at the NC/SC Joint Labor and Employment Law Seminar to determine how, if at all, it could be improved.  To this end, the Section Council will survey the attendees. The North Carolina Bar Association will be kept abreast of any developments since it also has a substantial stake in the program.
•    Explore online CLEs and distance learning programs, including seeking volunteers from the Section to speak on topics that will be available for online CLE credit.
•    Explore partnering with ABOTA or other organizations on a practice skills seminar.
