In 2016, the National Center for Access to Justice ranked South Carolina last out of all states in access to civil legal assistance. Following that report, a variety of legal experts began the laborious task of researching what barriers existed and why. Among them was Elizabeth Chambliss, Henry Harman Edens Professor of Law and Director of the law school’s Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough Center on Professionalism.

“That's my main focus of my current work,” Chambliss says. “Trying to improve the civil justice system in South Carolina.”

To that end, she has partnered with many organizations over the years to evaluate South Carolinians' ability to get the help they need when they need it. Most recently, through the NMRS Center, she partnered with the SC Bar and SC Access to Justice Commission to fund the first-ever statewide civil legal needs assessment.

Featuring qualitative and quantitative data, the assessment presents the results of six years of data from state civil courts, interviews with legal aid providers, surveys of lawyers and South Carolina residents, and 14 focus groups throughout the state, detailing people’s experiences handling civil legal problems with and without lawyers.

Some of the results were unsurprising, like the fact that housing and family law were the areas of greatest need or that most parties in civil court are unrepresented. Some results were less expected, such as how many people were generally satisfied with the lawyers they used.

“One thing that struck me in hearing peoples’ stories is that it’s not just the outcome of the case that matters,” Chambliss says. “Even where there wasn’t a good outcome, the feeling of being respected and heard and taken seriously was important to people.”

Now that the assessment is available, Chambliss hopes to strengthen existing partnerships among legal services providers in the state and create sustained momentum with follow-ups and measurable progress.

“We wanted to start a conversation – and bring together the many conversations that were already happening – about how to improve access to civil legal assistance in South Carolina,” Chambliss says. “The goal now is to identify priorities and build coalitions for implementing positive change.”

There are many reasons to improve access and, for Chambliss, it’s at the heart of professional service.

“It’s our public and professional duty to do a better job providing these services because they really can be life changing,” Chambliss says. “Sometimes a little assistance goes a long way.”

MULLINS, S.C. – Head coach Kyle Drew and the Pee Dee Academy boys are 16-4 on the season and 5-1 in region play. The squad hosted Williamsburg and Myrtle Beach Christian heading into the final week of the regular season.

The Golden Eagles are led by only two seniors in forwards Hudson Spivey and Peyton Hardee. Spivey led the team with 13 points in a 45-23 win over the Stallions. He recently surpassed the 1,000 career-point mark and is now the top three all-time scorers at the school.

“Hudson brings a little bit of everything,” Drew said. “He’s a force inside and can stretch the floor a little bit. He can handle the basketball and he’s our rim protector also.”

Pee Dee Academy was held-off by the Saints Friday night 52-57. Spivey led the team with 20 points followed by Colby Richardson with 15 points and Jamison Rogers with 10 points.

“This game was for first place in the region and we have to go them and Florence Christian to shake-out the region,” Drew said. “I’m really proud of the junior varsity players that stepped-up on the leadership of Hudson Spivey and Peyton Hardee.”

Drew said he is excited about his team’s chemistry and their effort on the court. A tough schedule got the team prepared to move up to SCISA Class 3A in a new region.

“We have a tough region,” Drew said. “We always try to play some teams that get you prepared so games like this don’t surprise you. The schools are little bigger than us and deeper off the bench but we try to make it more of a half-court game.

Pee Dee Academy girls are 6-0 in the region and 15-1 overall. The Lady Golden Eagles defeated Williamsburg 34-18 and followed up with a 28-23 win over Myrtle Beach Christian.

Pee Dee Academy girls basketball coach Meg Webster said the team is getting a big lift from senior guard Abby Johnson, who led the team with 13 points. Junior Lizzie McCaskill added 11 points while sophomore Rebecca Hammond led team with 10 points against Williamsburg. Sophomore newcomer Kaylin Davis and freshman Meredith Larrimore also add immediate production for the young team.

“I’m extremely proud of those girls,” Webster said. “That is the hardest I’ve seen them play all year long.”

Webster said the team responded in a defensive game aiming to challenge for a region championship.

“Abby Johnson probably has eight double-doubles and Lizzie McCaskill is somebody I can count on defensively in the game,” she said. “It’s exciting for me to have so many young players. I couldn’t be more proud of them.”

Pee Dee Academy will host Dillon Christian on Feb. 10.

Regional Vice Presidents Added to Support Local Teams

ATLANTA, Feb. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ApolloMD's robust growth calls for the extension of clinical leadership roles to champion our dynamic teams in the form of Regional Vice Presidents (RVPs). RVPs are clinical leaders managing a roster of facilities while supporting company operations in other areas. These leaders will work closely with the Regional and Divisional Presidents, and the operations support assigned to the geographic region.

"The need for this added clinical leadership support has become evident as we continue to grow and develop more partnerships," says Yogin Patel, ApolloMD President. "I am overjoyed to highlight and recognize these four individuals who have already proven themselves as skilled and dedicated clinical leaders and look forward to partnering with them in a new capacity."

Meet the new ApolloMD Regional Vice Presidents:

Dr. Richard T. Benson II joined ApolloMD in 2017 and immediately proved to be a dynamic leader with an inspirational vision and a knack for developing team unity.

Dr. Capes completed his education in his home state of Georgia, earning a Bachelor of Science in Biology at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta and his Doctor of Medicine from the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta. His post-graduate training took him to Charlotte, N.C. for an internship and residency in Emergency Medicine at Carolinas Medical Center.

Dr. Daniel Minior has served as the Medical Director and Chairman of the Department of Emergency Medicine of UNC Lenoir since 2013.Dr. Minior draws on his experience as chairman and medical director to inform his approach as RVP. He continually feels drawn to the positions that present an opportunity to function as a servant leader, giving him the chance to fix a problem and aid his team.

Upon completing his training, he moved to North Carolina to practice Emergency Medicine. Once settled in North Carolina, Dr. Minior continued his education at Duke University Fuqua School of Business, earning his MBA in 2015.

MULLINS, S.C. — Latta Vikings football coach Brandon Iseman said his team took a really bad loss against Mullins to end last season. The Vikings had lost four out of the last five games against the Auctioneers. Iesman’s squad starts the new season with a 35-0 shutout on the road at Mullins Saturday night.

“I’m proud of the kids,” Iseman said. “Our kids came out and fought.”

Junior running back Jamarion Jones and junior quarterback Katrelle Townsend each rushed for two touchdowns to lead the Vikings.

“These guys beat us and they did a really good job that night,” he said. “It’s really stuck with our kids. Our kids have worked for this moment right here. It’s all we’ve worked on. It’s all we’ve talked about. It’s all we’ve prepared for. This is a really emotional win for our kids because this is something that stung and stuck with us last year.”

Iseman said age and experience is the difference for a team with all five returning starters on the offensive line.

“Tonight they are what won the football game,” he said.

The Auctioneers forced a fumble recovery to stall Latta’s opening drive. Townsend saved another turnover for Latta, recovering the football and breaking multiple tackles for a 13-yard touchdown and 7-0 advantage with 1:25 remaining in the first quarter.

Latta recovered a fumble on the ensuing kick-off resulting in a 14-yard touchdown run from Townsend to open the second quarter.

Jones followed up with a four-yard touchdown run with 3:34 remaining until halftime, giving the Vikings a commanding 20-0 lead.

“They’re guys that we’ve constantly looked at and knew they were going to be guys for us,” Iseman said. “We just been waiting for them to step to the plate and do it. They did it tonight and it’s only going to continue to get better.”

Mullins came into the second half with a promising drive highlighted by a 12-yard run from freshman running back Justin Reaves and a 35-yard pass play by quarterback Sy’Ree Livingston to Tyshawnta Davis. Latta’s defense responded forcing a turnover on downs and immediate 50-yard touchdown run from Jones. Justin Stutler powered his way for a four-yard touchdown for the team’s final score midway through fourth quarter.

Sophomore kicker Conley Dailey made four extra-point kicks in his first high school football game.

Mullins Auctioneers coach John Williams said his team needs the experience.

“We got a lot of in-experienced players and it showed tonight,” Williams said. “We’re going to keep working hard and as we keep playing they’ll keep learning.”

Williams said the main message to his team heading into the next game is being more physical.

“We was not physical enough tonight and we weren’t hitting anybody tonight,” he said. “When you got a lot of young people that never played before, it’s like that.”

Mullins (0-1) hosts Lake View on Friday Aug. 26.

Latta (1-0) hits the road to face East Clarendon.

MULLINS, S.C. – One University of South Carolina Gamecocks football duo is doing their part to give back to their community despite being just six weeks away from kicking-off the 2022 season at home against Georgia State. Gamecocks senior wide receiver Xavier Legette and redshirt junior cornerback Cam Smith worked with more than 50 children at Mullins High School during their first Takeoff Tour football camp. “I feel like its very big and I feel like it’s going to be very big in the future,” Legette said. The Mullins native said giving back is something he loves to do.

“I really do it for the little kids around me,” he said. “I know the community is real small and they don’t really get to see too much of everything so I’m just trying to be the bright light in the community.”

Legette is one of the most decorated players from the Auctioneers program setting team highs in receiving yards before transitioning to quarterback and rushing for 1,826 yards and 19 touchdowns along with 1,008 passing and nine touchdowns in 2018, earning recognition on the USA TODAY High School Sports American Family Insurance ALL-USA South Carolina Football Team. He’s started 13 career games for the Gamecocks.

Smith, a Marion native has grown from a four-star prospect and All-American Bowl selection for the Westwood Redhawks to a projected top 15 NFL draft prospect. He was named second team All-SEC by the Associated Press last season and recently named Preseason All-SEC second team.

“It feels good to be back supporting the kids and making the kids see there is hope to get out because not too many people came out of here and came back,” Smith said. “Just doing this really makes my day.”

Smith’s parents Ken Smith and Alicia C. Smith were also happy to return home and share the experience with their son.

“It feels amazing,” Alicia C. Smith said. “It feels like we poured a lot into him and that he is pouring back into the community now and we appreciate that.” Ken Smith is a former wide receiver for the Auctioneers and welcomed the opportunity to give children in the area a football camp experience.

“It brings back memories,” Ken Smith said. “It feels really good to see him here. I wish he could’ve played here but it wasn’t in the cards. We’re proud of him.”

The Smith family said their son has made the transition and found his footing growing from a high school football player to a Division I college football starter.

Fellow teammates like offensive lineman Jakai Moore, running back Rashad Amos and linebacker Darryle Ware helped volunteer their time and knowledge of the game on the field.

“I always know these boys are going to bat for me regardless of anything on or off the field,” Smith said. “I already knew we were going to get some support with this.”

Legette said it was great having his teammates in his hometown.

“It’s even better they showed the little kids that not only they get to see our faces but everyone else I play with.” Legette said.

Mullins Auctioneers football coach John Williams said he was happy to host the camp and see one of his former players continue to impact the program.

“I think it’s fantastic for them to come and do it for this community,” Williams said. “I want my players to come away with some knowledge of some football skills they haven’t come across yet and also learn what they need to do to go to the next level.”

TUFF founder Adam Shibley and Chief Executive Officer Jess Speights also helped to support the camp by organizing drills, donating shirts, creating photo opportunities, awarding prizes and feeding the group.

Speights, a former University of Michigan Wolverine defensive lineman, said the nonprofit organization is on a mission to provide uniforms, equipment and mentorship to underserved youth athletes.

“We’re trying to develop the mentorship aspect of the nonprofit now and that is where Cam Smith and Xavier Legette step-in adamant about giving back to their community,” Speights said. “We’re really excited to do this today and having Levon Kirkland come out despite the old Clemson vs. South Carolina rivalry. This is our fourth camp and we have done donations with about 50 teams.”

Smith and Legette said they both look forward to the upcoming season.

“I feel very healthy right now,” Legette said. “Right now I feel like this is going to be a good one for me. This is my last one and I have an opportunity to comeback for another season but I’m going to make this one the best one.”
