However, all attorneys in S.C. should refrain from making any type of complaint to the Supreme Court or the ODC. I'm familiar with the ODC branch of the S.C. Supreme Court and I can tell you that they only apply the Jucicial Code of Conduct to those attorneys and judges that do not have sufficient political connections. I know a judge that committed multiple ethics violations over a period of several years. This judge also violated numerous defendants' due process and constitutional rights too many times to count. A complaint was filed with the ODC and the judge has allegedly admitted to every action listed in the complaint. It has been over a year and a half since the complaint was filed, but no action has been taken against this judge. Keep in in mind, everything was well documented and the judge has admitted to it all. The judge is very well connected and friendly with Jean Toal. So, don't expect any disciplinary action to be taken against any of the attorneys or judges involved in these bar results shenanigans. The good ole boy system in the S.C. legal community takes care of their own and will retaliate against any attorney foolish enough to make a complaint to the OCD about this situation. This latest scandal is just one of many in S.C., it just has the distinction of being widely publicized.

I stated that 2 of the 20 went to USC. That is accurate. Perhaps a class in reading comprehension would do you well. SickofYouBlamingCSOL:

It had a good run, but that’s the way things work." Anon, are you serious? There are three times as many blog articles coming out on this story this week than last week.

Get a grip! It's a law school that afforded more people in this country the opportunity to get a legal education when USC snubbed its nose at qualified applicants-even some with roman numerals behind their names.

That being said, you are correct that a reasonable person (assuming they care about public perception of the SC Bar and the SC Judicial system), with that information would reveal it to put a stop to the rumor mill.
