Scrivener’s Error Corrected

An opinion of the South Carolina Supreme Court was reissued when the sanctioned attorney discovered a scrivener’s error while preparing a petition for reinstatement. The court had imposed a two year suspension retroactive to an interim suspension based on the attorney’s guilty plea to “accomodation distribution of marijuana without renumeration” and possession of ecstacy. She also had given perjured testimony in the trial of another person. All of the acts had taken place prior to admission to the bar. (Mike Frisch)
