The South Carolina Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers is a professional organization dedicated to safeguarding the rights and liberties of the citizens of South Carolina. Founded in 1992, the association consists of criminal defense attorneys who practice in both federal and state courts, including private lawyers and public defenders. They advocate for the fair administration of criminal justice and provide continuing legal education seminars to enhance the expertise of their members.
Membership in the South Carolina Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers is open to attorneys actively engaged in representing individuals charged with criminal offenses in state or federal court. The association also offers associate membership to individuals who support criminal defense attorneys, such as paralegals, investigators, and expert witnesses.
