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.
