Login to Renew
Step by Step Renewal Process
1. Initial Notification
- Members receive a renewal notice via email or mail from the SC Bar, typically 60 days before the renewal deadline. The notice includes instructions on how to renew and details about dues and fees.
2. Review Membership Dues & Fees
- Members are provided with a breakdown of dues, including base membership dues and any applicable section fees.
- Members should also review any optional services or contributions they wish to add (e.g., pro bono contributions).
3. Update Personal and Professional Information
- Members must log into ais.sccourts.org to review and update their contact details, employment information, and other relevant data.
4. Payment of Dues
- Members can pay their dues online via credit card or by sending a check or money order to the SC Bar.
- Please note: we do not accept partial payments or payment plans.
5. Confirmation of Payment
- If you pay online, you will receive a confirmation email with your receipt. This confirmation will include a summary of the dues paid and verification of renewed membership status.
- If you pay by check, you will not receive an email confirmation.
6. Renewal Complete
- Membership renewal becomes official once payment is processed, and the member is in good standing for the next term.
7. Deadline and Penalties
- Members must renew by the specified deadline to avoid late fees or penalties.
- Failure to renew by the deadline may result in suspension of membership, which could include restricted access to Bar resources and practice limitations.
