The South Carolina Defense Trial Attorneys’ Association (SCDTAA) will hold its 59th Annual Meeting November 12–15 on Isle of Palms, SC. The meeting brings civil defense attorneys from across the state together with members of the judiciary and state legislators for CLE and networking.
Friday's program opens with a breakfast honoring the South Carolina judiciary and a presentation from the South Carolina Supreme Court. Other sessions cover biomechanical analysis of modern video evidence and an ethics hour on closing the justice gap. Saturday includes a session on mental health and wellness, a legislative outlook breakout with Senator Shane Massey, a presentation skills breakout for emerging leaders, and a circuit court judicial panel.
Representing IMS at the meeting is Senior Account Executive Susan deHoll. As attendees explore topics from biomechanical evidence and injury claims to how judges evaluate a case, Susan will be available to discuss IMS’s expert solutions to support defense counsel at every stage of litigation:
- Expert Witness Search: Independent experts, including engineers and biomechanical specialists who can analyze video evidence, vetted for testimony history and communication style, not just credentials
- Medical Legal Experts: Medical expert witnesses and independent medical examinations, life care plan rebuttals, and economic damages analysis for injury, medical malpractice, and workers’ compensation claims
- Litigation Consulting: Strategy sessions and mock trials that test case themes early, voir dire guidance that flags high-risk jurors, and courtroom presentations that keep the defense story clear
