S.C. BAR CONVENTION

JANUARY 20-23, 2011 HILTON HEAD MARRIOTT RESORT & SPA

President’s Message Dear Friends: I invite you to join me January 20-23 for the 2011 Bar Convention at the Hilton Head Island Marriott Resort & Spa. The Convention is the premier event for the South Carolina legal community in terms of education and professional development, and this year’s event will be no exception.

lomon Carl L. So

The beachfront Hilton Head Marriott offers award-winning dining, three championship golf courses, 25 tennis courts and a luxury spa. Named one of the Top 500 Hotels in the World by Travel Magazine in 2003, the resort recently underwent a multi-million dollar makeover.

The 2011 Convention will feature 21 CLE seminars, including the popular Law Office Technology Seminar, Civil Law Update and Breakfast Ethics. This year’s line-up of special events, including annual favorites such as the president’s welcome reception, plenary luncheon and wine tasting, in addition to a cooking demonstration, movie tour of Beaufort and tailgate party, truly offers something for everyone.

Please visit www.scbar.org/convention for detailed information for all seminars and events. I look forward to seeing you at Hilton Head!
