Judge Waites and his Court team thank Kayce Seifert for her excellent service as his law clerk in Charleston Chambers. Kayce leaves the Court on July 31st to join the FDIC Legal Division in Washington, D.C. as an Honors Attorney. Kayce has done a great job and will be missed. We wish her the best in her new endeavor.


Judge Waites is pleased to announce that Andrew Powell will join his chambers as law clerk in Charleston beginning August 3rd. Andrew is a 2011 honors graduate of the University of South Carolina School of Law and formerly practiced bankruptcy law as a supervising attorney at the Scott & Corley, P.A. law firm. We look forward to working with Andrew and welcome him to the Court.
