  I participate in the management of the firm’s four libraries across South Carolina. I provide both federal and state legal research to over 140 attorneys in four offices, as well as any other research needs the attorneys might have. I also provide business, company and industry research compiled in comprehensive reports to the attorneys and their practice or industry groups. During the summer and fall, I help train incoming new and summer associates to use the electronic and print resources in the library. I also facilitate collection development by identifying needs in the collection and evaluating print and electronic resources for purchase.
