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

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

On Thursday afternoon, August 13, at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park, a good number of Lowcountry lawyers will take part in the Charleston RiverDogs' annual Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Night at the Park.

Beginning at 4:30 p.m., area attorneys will be earning credit hours for attending a presentation by South Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice Jean Toal and the group will then enjoy the regularly-scheduled South Atlantic League contest between the RiverDogs and the Delmarva Shorebirds.

First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m., after Scarlett Wilson, Solicitor for the 9th Judicial Circuit, throws the ceremonial first pitch.

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.

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.
