SC Bar Middle School Mock Trial Judge

2011-11-05T12:34:00Z

Today I have the pleasure of volunteering with the South Carolina Bar's Middle School Mock Trial Competition. Students will try a fake case over whether a fictitious high school track coach is to blame for the death of one of his students. I'm glad there are middle school students who are already so interested in the law and looking forward to seeing what they can do with the case they've been given.

Many thanks to Cynthia Cothran of the SC Bar for coordinating the volunteers, and to Kelly Samsone-Galley of Rivertown Law Group for suggesting I participate.

Today, the Charleston School of Law is hosting a seminar about the realities of starting a law firm for students and recent graduates. I am honored to be one of the speakers during the afternoon session, which is titled "If I Knew Then What I Know Now." Along with several other alumni, I'll discuss the challenges I've faced in starting my own firm and hopefully give others who are considering it the benefit of my hindsight.

In mid-August alumni of the Charleston School of Law were asked to vote for new members of the Alumni Board.
