The Compleat Lawyer Awards were established in 1992 by the University of South Carolina Law School Alumni Association (renamed the Law School Alumni Council in 2012) to recognize alumni for outstanding civic and professional accomplishments. Recipients are individuals who have made significant contributions to the legal profession and exemplify the highest standards of professional competence, ethics and integrity.
