South Carolina Lawyers: Update Your Information on AIS

South Carolina lawyers will recall that last year the South Carolina Supreme Court ordered them to update and verify contact information in the Attorney Information System (“AIS”). In fact, we here at Abnormal Use blogged about that very issue back in November of 2013. Well, South Carolina attorneys are now being required to verify and update their information again in the AIS system before January 1, 2015. According to an email sent this week:

Under Rule 410(g) and (l)(1) of the South Carolina Appellate Court Rules (available at www.sccourts.org/courtreg ), members of the South Carolina Bar and Foreign Legal Consultants must verify and update all of their information in the Attorney Information System (AIS) prior to paying their license fees. For the license fees that are due January 1, 2015, this update and verification must occur between October 20, 2014, and January 1, 2015.

The AIS may be accessed at www.sccourts.org/ais. Your user name is your bar number (minus any leading zeros) and the password is the password that you selected earlier. Once logged on to AIS, if your password is expired, you will immediately be prompted to update your password and security questions. You will be provided with detailed information on the complexity required for the password.

Please remember to review and update your contact and other information in AIS. You are reminded that the contact information in AIS, including the required e-mail address, is your official contact information. Rule 410(e), SCACR (“The mailing and e-mail address shown in the AIS shall be used for the purpose of notifying and serving the member.”).

To complete the verification process, please return to the “Attorney Contact Tab” and click the “Save and Verify” button at the bottom of the page. This completes the verification process.

Our advice: Hurry up and complete this task before the holidays arrive, lest it get lost in the shuffle.
