   If you are a current Big Ticket subscriber and the seminar date is within your 365-day subscription window, you will not be charged for the program. Your zero ($0) balance will show up when you check out. If your Big Ticket subscription is set to expire prior to the date of the selected program, you may choose to re-subscribe to the Big Ticket or pay for the seminar.  

To cancel or transfer your registration, simply notify us in writing no later than 24 hours prior to the published start time of the seminar at registrar@scbar.org. You will be eligible to receive a full refund, be transferred to the live webinar or archived on-demand version of the same seminar, if available, or to a live or archived seminar of equal or lesser value.

If you need to cancel within 24 hours of the start time of a program, you are eligible to take the program in its archived, on-demand format, if available. Refunds will not be issued for programs covered by your Big Ticket subscription.  

For the SC Bar Convention or other special multi-day, off-site programs: refunds, less $50 administrative fee, will be made for cancellations received in writing to the CLE Registrar at registrar@scbar.org by 5 p.m. one week prior to the seminar. Cancellations will not be accepted within one week of the seminar date. Designated substitutes may take the place of registrants unable to attend.

You are ethically obligated to self-report any shortage of credits to the SC Supreme Court Commission on CLE and Specialization if you are not present for the entire program.

No. The SC Bar is an Accredited Provider in South Carolina and does not seek accreditation for its seminars in other jurisdictions, nor will it seek individual program accreditation for SC Bar members who may also be licensed elsewhere. We provide Uniform Certificates of Attendance for all programs, and the Bar member is responsible for seeking credit in other jurisdictions.  

Yes, your Big Ticket covers most live, live webinar and On-Demand SC Bar CLE programs. For specific program eligibility, check the seminar webpage.

Your Big Ticket may be used to register for any number of live or live webinar seminars which occur during your 365 day subscription. Some seminars feature SC Bar CLE Publications as all or part of the program course materials. For those programs, the CLE Publication must be purchased separately even if the seminar tuition itself is covered by the Big Ticket. Contact CLE Member Services Coordinator Pia McPhaul at pmcphaul@scbar.org for details.

You may be eligible for tuition assistance up to the full price of the seminar from the SC Bar Foundation Ronnie M. Cole Scholarship Fund.

The Cole Scholarship Fund awards financial support to lawyers who may have trouble meeting their required CLE credits. Priority will be given to public service lawyers and Foundation grantees, past and present, but any Bar member may apply. Scholarships are awarded on a needs-basis.
