South Carolina Supreme Court Historical Society Podcast
Join the Historical Society and the SC Bar Foundation as we share the stories of South Carolina’s legendary lawyers and judges through our oral history program. We have had the distinct pleasure of recording hundreds of our hours of interviews and conversations detailing early life experiences that encouraged individuals to seek a legal education, epic legal battles, and reflections on landmark cases from attorneys who litigated, judges who presided, and the fortunate lawyers who found a seat in crowded courthouses. In addition to these milestones, we’ve had the rare ability to capture history you’ve likely never heard from invitations to join singing groups, friendships formed through the civil rights moment, and so much more.
