COMMITTEE
2015
SIGN UP 2016
A Message from
YLD President
South Carolina Young Lawyers:
Thank you for taking a few minutes to review the South Carolina Bar Young
Lawyers Division (YLD) Committee Sign-Up Brochure for the 2015-16 year. I am
honored to be serving as your YLD President this year and know we can have
our most successful year yet with your participation and support.
As shown in this brochure, the YLD has many meaningful (and fun) ways for
young lawyers to give back to their community and the legal profession, all
while making connections with other young lawyers and within the community.
Regardless of whether you are interested in public service, networking with
fellow young lawyers, networking with non-lawyer professionals, improving
the opportunities for young lawyers in our state, or some combination thereof,
the YLD has a place for you. That is, the YLD presents opportunities for all
of our young lawyers to grow as professionals and as individuals, and this is
true regardless of your personality, your motivation for participating, and the
amount of time you are interested in devoting.
The YLD has 22 committees, each of which is discussed in this brochure and
listed on the back cover. If you are interested in receiving more information
about one or more of these committees, please complete the form on the back
cover of the brochure and place it in the mail, or submit the form through the
website referenced on the back cover. Those who sign up will be contacted
by the committee chair or co-chairs and given more information and an
opportunity to participate in the committee during the coming year.
As many of us have learned, service through the YLD can be an incredibly
rewarding experience, both personally and professionally. I encourage each of
you to consider capitalizing on at least some of what the YLD has to offer, either
by signing up for a committee or by attending an event or service project in
your area. If you ever have any questions about getting involved, feedback about
ways we can improve, or an idea for an event or project, please do not hesitate
to contact me or one of the other officers listed in this brochure.
Finally, I would like to thank the past leaders of the YLD—including past
presidents Lynsey Kmetz, Will Johnson, Trey Mills and Rebecca Roser—who
worked so hard to build our state’s YLD into the strong, award-winning
organization it is today. I am looking forward to building on the YLD’s positive
momentum and am particularly excited about working with President-Elect
Ryan Neville and Secretary-Treasurer Lindsay Joyner, and all of our other
leaders, in the coming year.
Best,
Patrick C. Wooten
YLD President, 2015-16
ORGANIZATION
of the Division
The South Carolina Bar Young Lawyers Division was founded in 1974 to
foster principles of duty and service to the public, promote professional
responsibility, stimulate the interest of young lawyers in Bar activities,
conduct programs of interest and value to young lawyers, and to assist in
the coordination and improvement of local young lawyer organizations.
All lawyers practicing in South Carolina are licensed through the South
Carolina Supreme Court and are mandatory members of the South Carolina
Bar. All members of the South Carolina Bar in good standing under 36
years of age, or those admitted to the South Carolina Bar as their first bar
for less than five years, are members of the Division. The Executive Council
is the governing body of the Division. The Executive Council is composed of
a president, president-elect, secretary-treasurer, immediate past president,
an out of state circuit representative, a circuit representative from each
judicial circuit, the ABA/YLD representative (in alternating years), a law
student representative from the University of South Carolina School of Law
and from the Charleston School of Law, and others appointed by the Division
President during his or her term as President.
The Division is an affiliate of the Young Lawyers Division of the American
Bar Association and sends representatives to the annual and mid-year
meetings and to spring and fall conferences. As an affiliate of the American
Bar Association Young Lawyers Division, the South Carolina Bar YLD and
its affiliated organizations share District 10 with the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The South Carolina Bar Young Lawyers Division has enjoyed a momentum
of prosperity since it was formed in 1974. The organization has blossomed
from a small group brainstorming about projects to an award-winning
organization of approximately 3,600 lawyers tackling and conquering a
myriad of community service and Bar member projects.
The Young Lawyers Division strives to sponsor projects that have a positive
impact upon South Carolina’s communities. It has been consistently
recognized by the ABA in national competitions for its service to the
public and service to its members. Service to the public includes projects
and programming focused on a variety of topics, including education on
preventing domestic violence, civics education, adoption and foster care
awareness, and assisting those with intellectual disabilities. Service to
Bar members includes implementing programs which provide networking
opportunities with other professional organizations, planning small
gatherings with members of the judiciary, and increasing attendance at the
Bar Convention in January.
The Division offers opportunities for young lawyers to improve the image
of the legal profession and fulfill their public service goals. The Division
has numerous committees with special projects to be completed. It
also coordinates social events to give young lawyers around the state
opportunities to network and learn about each other.

DIVERSITY SYMPOSIUM
& CAREER FAIR
COMMITTEE
ANNUAL BAR
In conjunction with USC School of Law and Charleston
School of Law, this committee will provide law students
and YLD members in SC with resources, support,
guidance and practical expectations associated with
the practice of law by planning and implementing a
symposium and career fair. While targeted to minority
and non-traditional law students and YLD members, all
law students and YLD members are welcome to attend
the Symposium, which will include panel discussions on
diversity issues in the legal field, ways in which diversity
can be increased, and career opportunities for law school
graduates. The Career Fair will be held in conjunction
with the Symposium—law firms and other potential
employers will be invited to participate for the purpose of
hiring summer law clerks and/or associates.
CONVENTION COMMITTEE
The ABC Committee promotes YLD’s involvement with the SC
Bar Convention by planning, organizing and implementing
a CLE program and attendance incentive event. The CLE
component will offer a program that is of interest to young
lawyers and provide at least three CLE credit hours for
attendees. The attendance incentive event will be a social
gathering for members of the YLD and their guests. Its purposes
are to increase young lawyer participation at the Convention
and in Bar/YLD activities. Additionally, the committee will be
responsible for planning and organizing a meeting for the YLD
Executive Council, committee chairs and co-chairs.

COURTHOUSE KEYS
COMMITTEE
The purpose of this committee is to provide young lawyers
the opportunity to meet and interact with members of
the judiciary in a small group setting. These events
are limited in terms of the number of young lawyer
attendees, and often the judges will offer practical tips,
insight and words of wisdom to the young lawyers.
Depending upon the preferences of the participating
judges, Courthouse Keys events may vary from informal
breakfasts to lunchtime or evening events. The members
of this committee will work alongside the committee
chairs and circuit representatives to coordinate at least
two Courthouse Keys events in each circuit, as well any
statewide events that the committee chooses to organize,
such as the annual Supreme Court Breakfast in Columbia.

THE COLOR OF JUSTICE
MEMBERSHIP EVENTS
Color of Justice is an outreach program that was established
by the National Association of Women Judges to foster diversity
in the legal profession and judiciary. The YLD Color of Justice
committee adopted this program and works to introduce middle
and high school minority students to the field of law through a
presentation that includes a panel discussion and breakout session
with judges, attorneys, law professors and law students. In addition
to reaching middle and high school students across the state,
the COJ Committee has implemented a College Roadshow, which
includes the Historically Black Colleges and Universities in South
Carolina. The purpose of the COJ HBCU Roadshow is to equip
minority college students with the tools necessary to enter the legal
profession, thereby increasing diversity within the legal profession.
The committee and its volunteers will speak to the college
students about the importance of three components—preparation,
performance and practice. The preparation component will focus
on what college students should do to prepare for law school and
the LSAT. The performance component will address what they
should expect and how to succeed in law school. The practice
component will give the college students insights on what it means
to practice law. This committee is looking for young lawyers who are
enthusiastic and interested in promoting diversity and inclusion in
the legal profession.
This committee is tasked with engaging young lawyers in the
Young Lawyers Division, regardless of whether they are newly
admitted to the SC Bar or approaching the end of their eligibility
in YLD. In addition to coordinating member networking
events, family-friendly events and new admittee receptions,
this committee will also coordinate events designed to provide
opportunities for YLD members and law students to interact and
introduce law students to the SC Bar and YLD.

VOICES AGAINST
VIOLENCE
Voices Against Violence (VAV) has the goals of educating
young lawyers and the public about the epidemic of
domestic violence and encouraging advocacy for domestic
violence victims through legislative initiative, pro bono
service and hands-on support to shelters and other
programs aiding victims of domestic violence. VAV
participates in shelter refurbishment projects, which
includes repainting, rebuilding, landscaping and other
refurbishing needs. Each fall, VAV runs a necessities and
toiletries drive, collecting donations to deliver to shelters
throughout the state. The program has expanded to further
its reach and impart support in areas that may have less
local funding. VAV organizes and hosts a free or reducedcost CLE program on domestic violence and, through this
CLE, works to educate young lawyers to represent victims
of domestic violence on a number of issues. Finally, VAV is
expanding into new areas with plans to design, print and
distribute informational materials and support a statewide
initiative to bring dating and domestic violence education
and prevention programs into high schools. VAV is always
looking for new ideas and seeking new committee members
to help further the goals of the program in combating
domestic violence.
