There was an unchanged number of lawyers in good standing in Abbeville County in August compared to the previous month, according to the South Carolina Bar.

During August, Abbeville County had nine lawyers in good standing.

Despite the long history of the legal profession in South Carolina, the state has the nation's second-lowest lawyer-to-population ratio. There is currently only one lawyer for every 493 residents.

More than 1,000 ethics complaints have been made against South Carolina judges who handle the state's major cases in circuit court. However, there were no judges who were publicly censured.

As of April 2024, a South Carolina lawyer makes an average annual salary of $96,296 a year.
