Hi Katherine,
I hope you are doing well!
Last September, you assisted me with renewing the Governor’s Proclamation for Paralegal Day on October 14th. As you may have heard, the South Carolina Supreme Court recently passed Rule 429 to the
SCACR creating the South Carolina Board of Paralegal Certification. This is a voluntary State certification that allows certified paralegals from
NALA or NFPA to apply to become State board certified – or a South Carolina Certified Paralegal (SCCP). This is a
huge advancement for certified paralegals in this State, following the lead of other States like North Carolina, Florida and Texas.
The founding Board expects the SCCP application and approval process to be effective for the Board’s fiscal year of July – June.
The purpose of my email is to find out how October 14th was originally established as Paralegal Day; and also to see if it is possible for that date to be amended to coincide with the effective date
of the new SCCP board certification – on or around July 1st.
On behalf of the Executive Board of the SC Upstate Paralegal Association, we feel this would be a great way to raise awareness to the new SC Board certification and promote the paraprofession, as well.
I would appreciate any information/insight you have!
Thanks very much!
Jessica

I bet the Presidents of the other Columbia area and Charleston area associations would like a copy.
I will check with them and get names/addresses and get back with you, would that be OK?
Thanks!

Hi Katherine,
I am on the Executive Board of the South Carolina Upstate Paralegal Association. I am writing to you because S.C. Paralegal Day is coming up on October 14th. This Proclamation did not receive nearly the press that we paralegals
would have liked. J So, I would like to post this on our social media pages for all our members to see, and circulate in our weekly e-blast to members.
Is there any way to get a copy of the official Proclamation that Gov. Haley issued?
I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!
