Dedicated to the Defense of Civil Actions

The South Carolina Defense Trial Attorneys’ Association was formally organized in 1968 after a series of discussions with insurance and industry representatives about the need for an organized Defense Bar. A local association of defense attorneys was needed to act as a liaison between the DRI and local claims managers.

The SCDTAA brings together by association, communication and organization, lawyers of South Carolina who devote a substantial amount of their professional time to the handling of litigated cases and whose representation in such cases is primarily for the defense.

Our Mission

The purpose of the South Carolina Defense Trial Attorneys' Association is to promote justice, professionalism and integrity in the civil justice system by bringing together attorneys dedicated to the defense of civil actions.
