In re Attorney Information System
Citations: 406 S.C. 221; 750 S.E.2d 212; 2013 WL 5942626; 2013 S.C. LEXIS 293
Court: Supreme Court of South Carolina; November 3, 2013; South Carolina; State Supreme Court
The South Carolina Judicial Department is implementing an e-filing system for court documents, which will utilize the existing Attorney Information System (AIS). Lawyers will access this system using their AIS credentials. To prepare for e-filing, security enhancements to AIS are necessary, including the requirement for stronger passwords. From the date of this order until December 15, 2013, all members of the South Carolina Bar, including those with limited practice certificates and foreign legal consultants, must log into AIS to: 1. Change their passwords to meet new strength requirements, with prompts for password complexity provided upon login. 2. Select and answer updated security questions, also prompted after the password change. 3. Update and verify their contact information in AIS, as this will serve as their official notification and service address, per Rule 410(e), SCACR. Failure to update passwords, security questions, and verify information will prevent lawyers and consultants from paying their 2014 license fees, potentially leading to suspension under Rule 419, SCACR. The order is signed by Chief Justice Jean H. Toal and other associate justices.
