SC Bar to Offer Law Talk Series at Library
Beaufort County, SC – The Beaufort County Library (BCL), in collaboration with the South Carolina Bar, is co-hosting a Law Talk Series to be held at various library branches beginning in January and continuing through spring.
The Law Talk program is a legal education program designed to educate the public on their rights and responsibilities under SC law. The program is the result of a partnership between the SC Bar and SC public libraries. (The SC Bar sponsors the Law Talk program, while libraries host the sessions.)
While the Law Talk program is free and open to the public, registration is encouraged. Each Law Talk session is presented by a VOLUNTEER SC licensed attorney or judge and lasts approximately one hour and provides a general overview of a legal topic.
Upcoming Beaufort County Library and SC Bar Law Talk sessions are listed below:
