CHARLESTON, SC - Recognized nationally as one of the most creative groups in professional baseball, the Charleston RiverDogs are taking it to the bench for another unique night at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park.

Not the dugout bench, mind you, but the judge's bench.

Lawyers tend to get a bad rap, but on Thursday, July 21, the RiverDogs will give everyone a chance to see them in a different light as they "Be Your Own Fan" on the club's annual Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Night. Instead of delivering a closing argument, area attorneys will have to keep quiet as they listen to an engrossing presentation from the South Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice. Following the lecture, they will partake in a picnic and watch the Yankees of tomorrow take to the diamond.

Beginning at 4 p.m., area attorneys will be positioned to earn credit hours for attending a presentation by South Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice Jean Toal.

The group will then enjoy the regularly-scheduled South Atlantic League contest between the RiverDogs and the Lexington Legends. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m.

Chief Justice Jean Hoefer Toal began her service as an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court of South Carolina on March 17, 1988. She was re-elected in February of 1996 and was installed as Chief Justice on March 23, 2000 for the balance of the term of her predecessor, which expired June 30, 2004. She was re-elected again in February of 2004 and was installed as Chief Justice on June 9, 2004, for a 10-year term.

Chief Justice Toal received her B.A. degree in philosophy in 1965 from Agnes Scott College where she served on the Judicial Council, National Supervisory Board of U. S. National Student Association and played goalie for the field hockey team. She received her J.D. degree in 1968 from the University of South Carolina School of Law where she served as Managing Editor, Leading Articles Editor and Book Review Editor of the South Carolina Law Review. She is a member of the Order of the Coif, Mortar Board and Phi Beta Kappa.

Cost for CLE Night is $55 per person and includes the CLE seminar, ballpark-style picnic and reception, and a ticket to the baseball game. Additional game tickets for family members are $7 each.
