Risk Management

The Risk Management Helpline is a resource for 91黑料爆料 members only.

All ethics assistance or guidance is non-binding and intended only to be informational. Before contacting the Helpline, please read the following Rules. By contacting the Helpline, you acknowledge and consent to these Rules.

  1. The Risk Management Helpline is a service for lawyers admitted to practice in South Carolina with questions about the South Carolina Rules of Professional Conduct.
  2. Discussion takes place in a brief and informal phone conversation about the Bar member鈥檚 own prospective conduct. We do not discuss questions about the member鈥檚 past conduct or the conduct of other lawyers. 
  3. Bar members should research the ethics rules, ethics opinions, and frequently asked questions before contacting us. We can offer assistance in locating resources and provide a sounding board but Bar members must make their own conclusions.
  4. We do not discuss questions that are the subject of a pending legal proceeding or are before a grievance committee.
  5. We do not provide assistance to Bar members requesting assistance through an intermediary (such as a nonlawyer employee).
  6. We do not provide legal advice or answer questions of law. The Helpline is not a substitute for engaging private legal ethics counsel.
  7. Assistance or guidance provided may not be used as evidence in court, administrative proceedings, or disciplinary proceedings for any purpose including supporting a defense.
  8. We do not answer questions about the unauthorized practice of law (UPL).
  9. Assistance is based solely on the facts provided by the Bar member. A material variation in the facts could change or void the guidance given.
  10. Due to the informal nature of calls, guidance is of a general nature. It is the Bar member鈥檚 responsibility to conduct independent research. We are not responsible for providing comprehensive research.
