Maybe. 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.
Some jurisdictions allow attorneys to apply for live seminar, webinar, and (to a lesser extent) on-demand credit. Check the CLE credit rules for each jurisdiction for information, requirements and restrictions.
The SC Bar is unable to seek individual program accreditation outside of South Carolina.
You may be eligible for tuition assistance up to the full price of the seminar through 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.
