S.C. Supreme Court Aims To Make Discipline Of Lawyers, Judges More Transparent
New rules aim to improve transparency, tighten complaint standards and enhance public confidence.

In the 1980s I was not even allowed to offer testimony in family court by a temporarily assigned judge from Spartanburg named Laney. He made his pronouncement of his ruling before I was even seated in his courtroom, over the protests of my attorney. Thousands of dollars later, spent on appeals he was totally overruled by the SC Supreme Court. I had no recourse to recover my money. After studying my options for filing a complaint over his behavior, I realized that the system was totally stacked against myself and any other citizen who wanted to fight bad lawyers and judges. Hopefully this is the beginning of much needed changes.
Pretty convenient they waited until complaints against Judge Mullen had been dismissed. She should have been disciplined for sure.
