If there’s something about white silk blouses, pencil skirts and mildly adventurous heels that appeals to you, then you’re going to love this contest.
In fact, it’s nuts that we didn’t think of it before.
We figured since 99% of South Carolina’s legal community reads this website anyway, we might as well hold a competition that highlights this demographic strength to our advertisers – while simultaneously gratifying our founding editor’s need f
And so your mission – should you choose to accept it – is to help us find South Carolina’s hottest lawyer.
That’s right. With hundreds of firms and thousands of attorneys, the choices are virtually limitless, and we expect the competition to be fierce.
As for early favorites, will it be Sic’s secret flame over at the SC Supreme Court, the lovely Stephanie Nye?
Or what about Nelson Mullins’ blonde bombshell Elizabeth Campbell? (yowzers here)
We’ll be taking your suggestions and narrowing the field to five names – but after that it’s up to you to pick the winner!
Add your suggestions into the comment section below … and don’t forget to include pictures or hyperlinks!
Or, if you’d like to keep your nominee on the “DL,” email us here …

My vote goes with V. Esslinger. Winning is HOT.
If I want a hot babe I don’t want to look in the halls of Nexsen, Mullins, Suckurwalletdryski and Company.

I don’t have pics to offer, but Heather Hite Stone of Abbeville should be considered.
By Mande Wilkes May 14, 2009 at 1:49 am
‘Tis time for me to get licensed. The “bar” needs raising, so to speak.
Slim pickins…
-Mande
By Agree May 14, 2009 at 8:19 am
That is the first time that I have ever agreed with Mande…not that she should get licensed, but that there are slim pickins in the Bar. Pitiful what passes for “hot” among lawyers. I went to law school with some of them and the last thing they need is to have their egos pumped up.
By Pat Hendrix May 14, 2009 at 8:24 am
Christ on a cracker, I’m agreeing with Mande. Not overly impressed so far. Not to say I wouldn’t let some of these counselors adjudicate me, but “hot” only applies to a couple at best.

Mande may have a point…all the pix seem to link to pictures of the same girl.
You’re just not blonde enough, M.

By Tust me May 14, 2009 at 11:13 am
Kelli Smith, a staff attorney at the supreme court, is the hottest female member of the South Carolina Bar. Period. No pics, but investigate the matter like a good journalist would, and you will agree with me. Unfortunately, it would end the competition early, but so it goes.

It is our pleasure to nominate Dean Walter F. “Jack” Pratt Jr. for the Carolina’s Hottest Lawyer Competition. While neither a licensed South Carolina lawyer nor particularly the hottest lawyer we know, we’re pretty sure that the USC School of Law hired this hunk of a man for one reason: his sex appeal. We’re fairly certain the F. stands for Fundraising, and this loveable bearded man knows how to put the F-U-N in fundraising.
We reckon this competition was aimed more at the female constituents of the Bar, but duty compels us to put forward a most deserving male contestant. Dean Walter Pratt: if you don’t know Hot, you don’t know “Jack.”

Rebecca “PZ” Goings & Ashley “Rocawear” Batson are foxes!

I can agree with one part of the previous comment, that being the “pre-school of law” title.
By Cool Hand Luke May 15, 2009 at 2:26 pm
Top notch lawyer. Top notch hottie.

By JD May 16, 2009 at 11:19 am
Rebecca Goings is by far the hottest. No picture…
By Trust Me May 18, 2009 at 10:02 am
Two more: Michelle Parsons from the attorney general’s office and JoBeth Hite. Will try to find pics, but no pic could do these two justice. Parsons has the prettiest eyes and best rack in South Carolina, and Hite is top to bottom a phenom.
By Collio May 18, 2009 at 8:41 pm
This is hilarious! You can tell the guys are nominating themselves to get noted by the hot young attorneys. Strange they f__k you over for money in the courtroom. And outside as well?

That said, my votes are as follows:
The winner – Audra Byrd

Good work SC!
