Welcome to the South Carolina Chapter of the Federal Bar Association. Our Chapter is a vibrant community committed to encouraging civility and excellence in our district. With over 300 members, we are one of the largest Chapters in the country. Each year we are proud to host a number of popular events and outreach projects for our members. These include:
- Annual Meeting and Federal Practice CLE in the fall;
- “Introduction to Federal Practice” seminar for law clerks and young associates held each summer in Greenville, Columbia, and Charleston;
- Bench and Bar lunches with our federal judges;
- Employment, Qui Tam, and Criminal Law CLEs;
- Receptions for newly appointed Fourth Circuit, District Court, and Magistrate Judges sitting in South Carolina;
- Student chapter partnerships with the University of South Carolina School of Law and the Charleston School of Law; and
- Opportunities to serve local charities, such as the Ronald McDonald House, alongside other federal practitioners.
If you would like to become more involved in the Federal Bar team, please reach out to us. We look forward to celebrating and serving with you in the coming year!
