April 17, 2008 –
Six outstanding alumni were recognized for their significant
contributions to the legal profession and high standards of
professional competence, ethics and integrity at the University of
South Carolina School of Law’s annual Compleat Lawyer Awards dinner
on April 17, 2008.
Established in 1992 by the USC
Law School Alumni Association Board (LSAAB), the awards recognize
alumni for outstanding civic and professional accomplishments.
Recipients are nominated by members of the South Carolina Bar and
are chosen by a committee consisting of the Chief Justice of the
South Carolina Supreme Court, the Chief Judge of the South Carolina
Court of Appeals, the President of the South Carolina Bar, the
President of the Alumni Association, and the Dean of the Law School.
Elaine Fowler, a 1975 cum laude
graduate of the School of Law, served as a member of the South
Carolina Law Review and Society of Wig & Robe while in law school.
She has been practicing with Turner Padget Graham & Laney since
graduation and focuses her practice in the corporate transactions
and personal planning arenas. Fowler was the first woman to serve as
Chair of the House of Delegates of the South Carolina Bar
Association and subsequently as every office, including President,
of the association. In addition to devoting much time to her legal
career, she is committed to service in her community and serves as a
member of the Sullivan’s Island Planning Commission. Fowler also is
an active supporter of numerous charities and is ready to volunteer
and lend a helping hand when needed.
