South Carolina Multijurisdictional Practice (MJP)

South Carolina Rules of Professional Conduct and Rule 8.5 address unauthorized and multijurisdictional practice. See the MJP hub for general background.

South Carolina Rule 5.5 generally tracks ABA Model Rule 5.5. Continuous employer practice requires a Rule 405 limited certificate.

Temporary practice

Temporary services under Rule 5.5(c) may be permitted when requirements are met. Court appearances remain subject to pro hac vice.
