Hot Tips From the Coolest Domestic Law Practitioners

By J. Benjamin Stevens

I had the privilege today of speaking at the annual " H ot Tips From the Coolest Domestic Law Practitioners" seminar presented by the South Carolina Bar.  This seminar typically features outstanding presentations from the best and brightest legal minds all across South Carolina, and it is truly an honor to be in such esteemed company.

My topic today was "Proper Subpoena Process" and I was able to discuss many of the problems that attorneys encounter in this area.  I provided examples of the forms that my firm uses in this area and suggested other remedies that should be helpful to the Bar.  

I also referenced the recently enacted "Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act" and how it can be used in other states to obtain information for cases pending here in South Carolina.  As of 2010, twenty jurisdictions have adopted this uniform statute, and the list of adopting states can be found here.

Thanks again to the seminar organizers, Vance Stricklin and Melissa Brown for asking me to speak at this year's Hot Tips seminar.
