There is a newer version of the South Carolina Code of Laws
2012 South Carolina Code of Laws
Title 38 - Insurance
Chapter 81 - LEGAL MALPRACTICE INSURANCE
Section 38-81-210 - Findings.
SC Code § 38-81-210 (2012) What's This?
The General Assembly declares that there exists the potential for a legal professional liability insurance crisis for attorneys in this State because of the high cost of liability insurance and a want of competition. These conditions could result in a situation in which liability insurance would not be available to attorneys in the State.
The public interest requires that a contingency program for providing legal professional liability insurance be enacted and that the Insurance Department of South Carolina (department) activate this program upon finding that an emergency exists because insurance is not available through normal channels or is not available on a reasonable basis because of lack of competition or otherwise.
HISTORY: 1988 Act No. 360, Section 1; 1993 Act No. 181, Section 832.
