Chief Justice’s Commission on the Profession
Lawyer Mentoring Second Pilot Program
By Order dated December 2, 2008, the Supreme Court of South Carolina established the Lawyer Mentoring Second Pilot Program. In July 2009, the Court appointed the Supreme Court Commission on CLE & Specialization as the program's administrators. The goal of this program is to assist new lawyers in their transition into the legal profession and to provide them with a stronger understanding of its accompanying ethical and professional obligations and expectations.
On this web site, you will find a copy of the Court Order establishing the program, Frequently Asked Questions, and the Uniform Mentoring Plan. You will also find links to all forms pertinent to the Lawyer Mentoring Second Pilot Program, which can be downloaded and printed.
BECOME A MENTOR
The need for mentors is critical. Through participation in the mentoring program, experienced lawyers are providing a great service to the Court, the legal community and the public. The program is only made possible through the dedicated efforts of our outstanding SC Bar members.
At the end of the one-year mentoring period, any lawyer who has served as a mentor will receive four (4) hours of MCLE credit, which includes two (2) hours of LEPR credit. If you are interested in volunteering as a mentor, please contact us.
