Forensic
Club
In November 1825, a group of Charleston attorneys
were granted a charter by the State of South Carolina to establish
a "Lecture-ship on the Law." In February 1826, the Forensic
Club offered lectures in the law to begin what essentially was
the South's earliest law school.
As a tribute to the founding members of the Forensic Club, the
Charleston School of Law annually selects a limited number of
graduates to become members of the Forensic Club.
Members are selected based on demonstrated leadership, professionalism,
public service and academic commitment. Alumni members include:
-
