The South Carolina Bar-CLE Division is proud to present our 2009 Master-in-Equity Bench Bar seminar. Judge Marvin Dukes put together an exciting program featuring a talented and experienced faculty who cover some of the hottest issues in Equity Court today. For instance, did you know that one in five new homes in South Carolina is a mobile home? John Kay discusses tax sales of real property with an emphasis on issues related to tax sales of mobile homes.
John Nichols brings you up to speed on legislative developments pertinent to Masters and those who practice in Equity Court. Paul de Holczer follows with a powerful look at eminent domain and condemnation issues. No program in this economy would be complete without a treatment of foreclosures, so Sue Berkowitz, Pete Korn, and Betsy Burn bring their experience to bear on this important area. You’ll get insightful, practical information on defenses to foreclosure, post foreclosure and bankruptcy issues.
As always, we are proud to feature a presentation by Charleston School of Law Professor Steve Spitz. Professor Spitz discusses water rights as they relate to both individual litigants and government entities. Tom Mikell shares practical keys to Quiet Title Actions, and Stuart Mauney provides some vital information for lawyers and Masters about the SC Bar’s H.E.L.P. Task Force and its work.
Rounding out the seminar is a panel of attorneys from the Supreme Court’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel, as well as Anderson County Master in Equity, Ellis Drew, who discuss common questions lawyers have about judicial ethics. If you practice in Equity Court in South Carolina be prepared for an amazing, enlightening, and entertaining day of CLE!
