Limited Scope Representation Toolkit
Limited scope representation—where an attorney agrees to handle only specific aspects of a client’s case—offers a potential “win-win” solution to some of the challenges of the justice gap in South Carolina. In addition to making legal help more affordable for people who struggle to pay, judges and court staff benefit from having more informed and better prepared litigants in their courtrooms. Limited Scope Representation in South Carolina: A Toolkit for Attorneys provides ethical guidance, sample forms, and best practices to help attorneys incorporate limited scope representation into their practice.
Looking for Legal Help Flyers
We designed these flyers so that judges, court staff, and attorneys feel comfortable referring court users to legal help. It includes a QR code and short URL linking to our SCATJ Legal Resource Finder—the Legal Resource Finder suggests legal aid organizations that might be able to help based on the user’s income, location, and specific legal problem. It also suggests self-help resources to guide them should they find they need to handle the matter on their own.
