S.C. Court of Appeals to hear cases at Charleston School of Law
Three-member panel to hear cases next week in school's new courtroom

OCT. 4, 2006 -- The S.C. Court of Appeals will hear cases next week at the Charleston School of Law in a move that will unveil the school's new specially-built courtroom.

"While our new courtroom will generally be used for students to practice their courtroom skills and for mock court trials, we're honored the state Court of Appeals will cut the ribbon on its use," Dean Richard Gershon said. "The Court's use of the new courtroom again highlights how the Charleston School of Law is bringing new opportunities and providing new leadership for the Charleston community."

A three-judge panel is scheduled to convene court at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 11, in a case involving the dissolution of a pediatric care partnership. Other cases scheduled to be heard include a case on a pollution discharge permit issued to the public works agencies in Charleston and North Charleston; a title dispute; a dispute involving a will involving McLeod Plantation; a master-in-equity issue; and a salary dispute.

Starting at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 12, the court will hear three cases: a right-of-way case involving Charleston County; an employment dispute involving bonuses; and an alimony dispute.

Court will be held in the new courtroom in Room B-102 in the BellSouth Building, 335 Meeting Street, on the Charleston School of Law campus in downtown Charleston.

Students are expected to listen to some of the cases to meet some of the requirements they must fulfill to take the S.C. Bar.
