Electronic Certificates of Good Standing

Regular members of the bar in good standing who have never received an administrative or a disciplinary sanction can now generate an electronic certificate of good standing at no cost by using the features available in the Attorney Information System (AIS).   To generate an electronic certificate, members must log in to AIS, go to the “Certifications” page, and click the link under the “Certificate of Good Standing” section. Members who have received a sanction or who require an original certificate of good standing with a raised seal must follow the procedures set forth in Rule 423 of the South Carolina Appellate Court Rules.
