Chief Justice Jean Toal to Preside
Over RiverDogs CLE Night June 13

CHARLESTON, SC - Recognized nationally as one of the most creative groups in professional baseball, the Charleston RiverDogs are taking it to the bench for another unique night at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park.

Not the dugout bench, mind you, but the judge's bench.

On Thursday, June 13, the RiverDogs will give area attorneys the chance to "Be Your Own Fan" on the club's annual Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Night. Instead of delivering a closing argument, they will be positioned to earn credit hours by attending a presentation by the South Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice Jean Toal.

Following the lecture, the attorneys will partake in a picnic and enjoy the regularly-scheduled South Atlantic League game between the RiverDogs and Augusta Greenjackets. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m.

Chief Justice Jean Hoefer Toal began her service as an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court of South Carolina on March 17, 1988. She was re-elected in February of 1996 and was installed as Chief Justice on March 23, 2000 for the balance of the term of her predecessor, which expired June 30, 2004. She was re-elected again in February of 2004 and was installed as Chief Justice on June 9, 2004, for a 10-year term.

Chief Justice Toal received her B.A. degree in philosophy in 1965 from Agnes Scott College where she served on the Judicial Council, National Supervisory Board of U. S. National Student Association and played goalie for the field hockey team. She received her J.D. degree in 1968 from the University of South Carolina School of Law where she served as Managing Editor, Leading Articles Editor and Book Review Editor of the South Carolina Law Review. She is a member of the Order of the Coif, Mortar Board and Phi Beta Kappa.

Cost for CLE Night is $55 per person and includes the CLE seminar, ballpark-style picnic and reception, and a ticket to the baseball game. Additional game tickets for family members are $7 each.

QUESTIONS: Please direct all questions to Autumn Jones.

**NOTE: Please remember that a licensed, practicing attorney may act as a "neutral" either (1) if the parties to a matter feel that the neutral is qualified to be a neutral by training or experience to deal with the issues in the matter (no Board certification needed) OR (2) if the attorney has been certified by the S.C. Board of Arbitrator and Mediator Certification pursuant to Rule 15 of the S.C. Court-Annexed ADR Rules. The above-referenced Board that certifies the training programs also certifies attorneys who desire to be on a Circuit Court list of "certified neutrals," which certification process is governed by the S.C. Court-Annexed ADR Rules. To be certified, attorneys must be 21, have a JD degree from an ABA approved school, have practiced for three years, have completed a 40-hour Board certified training program and have met other requirements as set forth in Rule 15 of the S.C. Court-Annexed ADR Rules. Therefore, the 40-hour training that you will take (1) will not only give you training which will help you mediate or arbitrate issues if, in the opinion of all parties to the dispute, you are skilled and experienced to do so, but also (2) will allow you to complete one step toward the Board certification process should you desire to be on a court list. Upon successful completion of the training program, your instructors will provide you with a Verification of Completion certifying that you have completed this 40-hour Board-approved Circuit Court Civil Mediator Training.
