handle is hein.barjournals/tscb0001 and id is 1 raw text is: South Carolina Bar Association BULLETIN VOL. I No. 1 207 BARRINGER BLDG., COLUMBIA, S. C. JANUARY, 1955 February 10, 11 and 12 TRAFFIC COURT CONFERENCE AT U. S. C. LAW SCHOOL Governor Timmerman, Attorney-General Callison, and S. C. Bar Association President Wilcox have cn- dorsed the three-day conference on Traffic Courts to be held at the University Law School on February 10, 11, and 12. In a separate program accompanying this issue of the NTVE1.rS-ULLET N the conference age.da is set in detail. With traffic problems increasing, this confer- ence is most timely and should be well attended by all who do business with traffic courts. Lawyers particularly should be concerned with im- proving these courts because more citizens come into contact with law, justice, and the courts in traffic courts than anywhere else. People's experiences there tend to color their impressions of the judicial system to such an extent that a deeper respect for law and order can be fostered. and resentment towards our law enforcement system minimized, by having the best possible traffic courts. Lawyers throughout the state are urged to attend this conference, and to encourage all Judges, City Re- corders. Mayors. Magistrates, traffic officers, and others concerned with our traffic courts to come. too. S. C. Bar Association WINTER QUARTERLY MEETING On February 10, 11, and 12 the Winter Quarterly Meeting of the S. C. Bar Association will be held at the University Law School in conjunction with the Traffic C oiort ,onfernep. C'nmmnittee Chairmen are urged to hold any necessary committee meetings at some time during the Winter Quarterly Meeting. The Spring Quarterly Meeting will be held late in March at which time a Trial Practice Institute will be conducted.

BAR ASSOCIATION President Wilcox Notes Association Growth S. C. LAWYERS LOOK AHEAD The Executive Committee of the South Carolina Bar Association at its last meeting approved a plan of the Public Information Committee to publish a NEwS BUL- LETIN in the hope that it would stimulate interest, keep members in touch with the Association and advised of its activities, and would present other information of g neral interest to the legal profession. This is in keep- ing with the new spirit and purposes of the Associa- tion. For many years past the South Carolina Bar Assoc- iation was to a great extent a social organization hold- ing one meeting annually which was always enjoyed, but only by the few members who attended. The As- sociation should be a vital influence among the lawyers of our state. Every lawyer in the state should be a member. In 1953, under the able leadership of Dean Samuel Prince, the Association undertook to broaden its in- fluence and activities, and set up three meetings a year in addition to the annual convention. Each is devoted to an Institute of general interest and value in advanc- ing the legal knowledge of the members of the legal profession. These quarterly meetings have proved very effective. The first was held in October, 1953, at Co- lumbia as a Tax Institute. It was an enthusiastic meet- ing and well attended by lawyers from all parts of the state. The second was held in November, 1953, at the University Law School, and an excellent and informa- tive institute on Federal Statutes affecting b'isiness transactions and farming operatior .xas conducted. The thitu meeting, held in January, 1954, at the Fed- eral Building in Columbia as an Institute ,n Federal practice, was wel' attended and was the most outstand- ing of the three meetings. During the annual convention in Charleston in May, 1954, Dean Prince, the retiring President of the Asso- ciation, was unanimously named as Coordinator of Institutes for the year 1954-55. In October, 1954, he or- ganized a fine Institute on the new Internal Revenue Code, and brought to Columbia some of the most out- standing tax authorities of our country. These gentle- men did a superb job and the meeting was a huge success. The Executive Committee has approved the Traffic Court Conference for the current Winter Quarterly Meeting, and we sincerely hope that this very worth- while conference will be well attended by the lawyers of South Carolina. The South Carolina Bar Association has nearly doubled in size in recent years and the annual conven- tion held in Charleston in May, 1954, was the largest in the Association's history. The organized bar of our state is at last coming into its own. Our present ob- jectives are to increase membership, further promote
