A New Safeguard for Victims of Alcohol-Related Crime

South Carolina Association of Justice Paves Way for Passage of Dram Shop Bill (S.116)

Families across South Carolina have scored a big win with the passage of S.116, known as the Dram Shop bill. The new law requires alcohol-serving businesses or individuals to have liability insurance that could help assist victims who are wounded, paralyzed, or worse due to alcohol-related crimes. The South Carolina Association for Justice (SCAJ) has been working closely with legislative leaders to put this safeguard in place. The organization’s leadership and lobbying team joined Governor Henry McMaster in his office when he signed the bill into law, which went into effect July 1, 2017.

Often described as "the best seminar in the region, if not the country," the SCAJ Auto Torts seminar is enjoyed each December in Atlanta, GA by Trial Lawyers from across the south. While the seminar used to focus purely on Auto Torts, throughout the years the seminar has shifted to include topics that are relevant to all Trial Lawyers.
