Can anyone tell me where they administer the SC bar exam in February (and a hotel recommendation if you have one).
Many thanks.

If Rep. Sellers has not passed the bar, why does he represesnt himself to be an attorney in his legislative biography? This appears to be a violation of the Code of Professional Conduct that should be reported to the South Carolina Bar’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel.

Just a side note, the first-time test-takers from the CSOL passed the bar at 84% this year, for what it’s worth.

danielle – did one of your attorney’s first name begin with a word that ryhmes with folly?

I had the pleasure of dealing with “folly” for a year – she displayed the worst lawyering skills I’ve seen in 25 years of dealing with these morons – and would have sunk plaintiff’s case had she not been fired.

Within 2 months of her firing the case was resolved.

If yours is a family court matter I strongly recommend mediation (sooner rather than later) and not with a mediator in Columbia – they are an incestuous (not to mention incompetent) clan.

I was told that Sellers took and failed the bar in July 2008. Is that three strikes for him, or has he not taken it every time it’s been offered?

Sellers definitely took the bar in July 2009.

He (barely) graduated in 2008. What’s he waiting for? And why would he wait and take it during session? It seems to me that you would want to take it as soon as possible after finishing law school so the material would be fresh in your mind. But maybe it was never in his mind in the first place.

I’m in the process of dealing with lawyers now and I can say firsthand that the bar exam must be a joke. I’m more competent than my former attorney and my current attorney and the opposing attorney. She doesn’t even verify her information before she states it as being truth in court then she ends up looking like a fool and tries to turn it all over on me for not being “forthcoming” with information that wasn’t for me to provide anyway. Anytime you make an allegation of someone’s employment or marital status, the least you can do as an attorney is make sure the information is accurate. I thought attorneys weren’t supposed to ask questions they didn’t already know the answer to…

Yes, he was, but i don’t think he took the Bar this July is waiting until February 2010…could be wrong though

Congratulations to all who passed. Now, what in the world is SC going to do with 370 MORE lawyers???? Where are they going to work? Haven’t they read about lawyers getting laid off in droves? Supply and demand people.
