Every year, South Carolina attorneys are required by law to complete a minimum of 14 hours of continuing legal education (CLE). There is no shortage of local classes and seminars you can take to fill up these credits. The problem is that the “education” you’ll receive in some of these classes involves little more than learning how to complete your credits painlessly. At the Law Offices of James R. Snell Jr., we believe these credits should be used in a way that will benefit our clients. That’s why attorneys Jim Snell and Vicki Koutsogiannis traveled to Harvard for the summer session of the National College of DUI Defense. The event featured the nation’s leading experts in DUI defense, including Roger Dodd, author of “The DUI Trial From Beginning to Winning.” DUI cases are constantly evolving, so it’s important for attorneys to stay informed of the latest tools and tactics the police are using. You don’t want an attorney defending your case in 2018 with methods from 1999.
When done correctly, the skills we learn in the classroom benefit our clients in the courtroom. That was certainly the case when Vicki Koutsogiannis defended a client facing DUI charges earlier this year. The prosecution thought they had an open-and-shut case in front of them. Vicki was able to poke holes in their case and redeem our client with a “not guilty” verdict from a jury that left the prosecution aghast. While we can’t guarantee results like this on every case, it’s proof that we’ll do whatever it takes to provide you with the best defense possible. CLE may be a requirement for all attorneys in this state, but we prefer to view it as an opportunity. There’s no limit to what you can learn to make yourself a better attorney, so going through the motions with your CLE is a waste of 14 hours that could be spent improving your skills. Our clients deserve great representation, which is why we take CLE so seriously.
