Celebrating Pro Bono Week

Monday, October 26, 2020


In recognition of Pro Bono Week, the Judges of the United States Bankruptcy Court would like to thank the many members of the South Carolina Bar who selflessly volunteer to help the public in matters related to the work of our Court by participating in the following programs: 


Bankruptcy Court Ask-A-Lawyer
C.A.R.E. Program of South Carolina
Bankruptcy Court Bar
Judge Waites' Debtor Assistance Program.  


This assistance has been crucial and continuation of these efforts is fundamental as our state recovers from the effects of Covid-19. In addition, the Judges would like to thank South Carolina Legal Services and the South Carolina Bar, whose partnership with the Court makes many of these programs possible, as well as recognize those bankruptcy attorneys who participate in South Carolina Bar sponsored programs such as S.C. Bar Pro Bono Program, South Carolina Legal Services PAI Program, S.C. Bar Clinics, S.C. Bar Ask-A-Lawyer Program, and S.C. Law Answers.
