Supreme Court of South Carolina

In the Matter of an Anonymous Member of the South Carolina Bar

May 27, 2020

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court approved the disciplinary agreement and issued an anonymous admonishment rather than a public reprimand, finding that a public reprimand must name the attorney and that anonymity was warranted given the respondent’s cooperation and lack of prior sanctions. The Court affirmed the respondent’s violations of Rule 417, SCACR and related partnership responsibilities.
