The South Carolina Chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates (SC ABOTA) presents the Twelfth Annual James Otis Lecture Series in observance of National Constitution Day. The topic for the 2021 James Otis Lecture is “The Role of Citizens in the Administration of Justice.”  Broadcast from the State House, the program’s featured speakers are:
