The South Carolina Law Review cordially invites you to our upcoming symposium on issues of judicial independence in the world and in South Carolina. Our keynote speaker this year is The Right Honorable Lord Justice John Laws from the Inner Temple in London, whose opening address will facilitate discussions on the rule of law and the judiciary’s role in furthering democracy. Friday’s sessions will examine such topics as the judicial decision-making process, judicial selection, judicial recusal, and legislative funding of the judiciary. Practitioners in the Fourth Circuit and in South Carolina will find that the sessions increase their understanding of the judiciary and provide insight on the lawyer’s role in furthering and maintaining judicial integrity.
