Volunteers Needed for the Ask-A-Lawyer Program

Friday, May 24, 2024

The South Carolina Bankruptcy Court is seeking additional volunteer lawyers for the Ask-A-Lawyer Program. 

The Court, in partnership with the SC Bar, sponsors monthly opportunities for the public to call and speak with a volunteer lawyer on bankruptcy and other debt collection issues. The calls are transferred to the voluntary lawyer's office directly from the Bankruptcy Court during a two-hour period on a previously agreed upon day. The lawyer may remain anonymous in discussions with the caller. Since the program is sponsored in partnership with the SC Bar, the consultations are covered under the Bar's malpractice policy, and the contacts and time are reported by the Bankruptcy Court to the Bar for public service credit for the volunteer lawyer.
 
Ask-A-Lawyer will be holding sessions on the following dates: 
Wednesday, June 26, 2024
Wednesday, July 24, 2024
Wednesday, August 21, 2024

If you are able to volunteer for any of these sessions, please e-mail Nicole Stalvey at nicole_stalvey@scb.uscourts.gov
