The South Carolina Bar provides important legal information to local organizations through its Speakers Bureau.

The Speakers Bureau is a free service connecting attorneys who enjoy public speaking with organizations seeking orators for various functions. Engagements can vary from lectures at the local rotary club to an introduction of the legal system for your local middle school to question- and- answer sessions with senior citizens' groups.

If you are interested in having a volunteer attorney speak to your group on a particular topic, complete the speaker request form located on the Bar's Web site at www.scbar.org/ speakers. For more information, contact Elizabeth Martin at (803) 779- 6653, ext. 155 or emartin@scbar.org.

The South Carolina Bar, which has a membership of more than 13,000 lawyers, is dedicated to advancing justice, professionalism, and understanding of the law.
