Yes, we will be having a MEGA-BLITZ to help reduce the backlog of questions posted to the SC Bar Free Legal Answers online forum. Mega in the sense that it will go on all day!
Two shifts- leading off with the coffee crowd from 10-12! The clean up team will pick up at 2 and go until 5 with a goal of finish early and being rewarded with a virtual adult beverage!
This is also MEGA in that 1L’s you are now welcome to join us. You have that first semester under your belt and enough knowledge to help find answers.
