What your state bar "offers" is "formal" reciprocity with other states. Nice too, keeps some of the under educated (from your highly rated secondary schools) attorneys in SC from not getting work.
USC disrespect ...

Throughout history, dating all the way back to the start of the Yamasee War in 1715, this phrase has held true:
"South Carolinians like to scream and start wars, but then they quickly realize they need North Carolinians to fight it for them."
I think the same can be said for any fan base. When is the last time you've had a 'college football discussion' with someone from Georgia?
I was at the SoCal/UCLA game at the Rose Bowl last year and I learned a whole new dimension of cockyness from a Trojan fan.
I don't think trying to sue South Carolina amounted to anything. We still use the USC emblem on our baseball caps that they tried to prevent. Regarding that whole argument, South Carolina was founded in 1801. California wasn't even a state until 1850.
About the "REAL" Carolina, the only defense Gamecock fans have is our recent success in baseball. I believe that gets trumped with the continued success UNC has had in basketball. Fun to joke about but really no argument. I lived in Charleston for two years and I've met plenty of people there that when someone refers to Carolina, they understand it to be North Carolina by default. Then again... it could be because Charleston is being overwhelmed by retirees in the north, specifically from Ohio.
Like I said. We prefer for outsiders to have to earn their way in. Of course, we have no problem if this also hinders those here from seeking work elsewhere.What your state bar "offers" is "formal" reciprocity with other states.

And as far as legal education goes, the various USC law school grads who have been employed at Cravath or S&C over the years might beg to differ on the quality of their legal education.
Of course some people are more prone to bragging about national educational rankings than others.
It's that lack of self-awareness that makes South Carolina fans so insufferable. You're basically like the drunk guy at the party who's making as ass of himself but enjoying the attention too much to stop. Sadly, the next morning never seems to arrive for Gamecock fans.
And then there's this
Now who is it exactly on an opponent's site bragging about their education?
No bragging. Just responding to the earlier post questioning the quality of education in SC.
I think this goes back to my earlier post. The concept of self-awareness implies that there is some sort of societal norm that the drunk guy in the bar should be measuring himself against. When in his eyes, he is living his own life and isn't hurting anyone else. He doesn't really care what anyone else thinks. But damn is he having a great time . . . as compared to the guy in the corner of the bar that is sulking over his scotch while criticizing everyone else in the bar.
Looks like we lost a receiver I was counting on to make some big strides this season. Rumors are it his ACL.
Might not matter as much if we are in the middle of a tropical storm. But I hate it for the kid. He redshirted last year for a similar injury.

Completely off topic, but is anyone else unable to sleep in anticipation of the Newcastle v Arsenal game at 7:45 am?
To be honest it doesn't matter much to me. I agree that other than in SC that people know Heels more as Carolina than us. Not worth even arguing over. Good luck on Thur. Should be a good game
That's what he thinks, alright, because he's too drunk to realize he's actually annoying everyone else in the room.
We had a highly touted defense coming out of camp last year...I'm ascared this year.
I don't agree. We're looking at this as a must win game. We can not afford to start the season like we did last year. Neither can you. It' going to be a hard played game between 2 teams that want better than what last year offered. Here's hoping for a well played, injury free game. And a Gamecock win!
Chickens were meant to be baked, fried, and grilled, not adored as sports symbol.
What is it with Limey soccer? That stuff is bad for your gonads and mental health.
...but Clemson is historically better in football so wouldn't that make them Sr.? Clearly I don't get it
Excellent point. The Cock fans just don't understand the concept. They believe that their tradition is much better than SoCal (USCsr.)
Of course they do. If they believed differently, they wouldn't be South Carolina fans.
"South Carolinians like to scream and start wars, but then they quickly realize they need North Carolinians to fight it for them."
Clemson fan here. My direct ancestor South Carolina Governor Robert Gibbs was involved in the separation of South Carolina and North Carolina. His thought was, even though they were now being separate, they would still be involved in like cause. That cause today is for the northern part of Carolina to lay a whipping on the southern part. I'm for that cause today...

Today's Special: Roasted Gamecock
Keep thinking That! You have a good rest of the year.
Getting OUT of the ACC and, ultimately joining the SEC, was a giant leap forward for Gamecock athletics. The monetary rewards have been awesome - we are now able to spend tens of millions on facility improvements that, prior to SEC membership, we couldn't dream of doing as an Independent or ACC member and we actually had to PROMISE the SEC upon joining the league that we would ramp up spending on facilities . . . Get this . . . With THEIR money that they have GIVEN to us! Gawd! We're living in a dream world and the plans still on the drawing boards indicate that life in the SEC was worth the FIFTY dollar membership fee we paid back in 1991. It's only going to get better!
I like the SC Up country a lot. I like the landscape and the people. I don't like Columbia at all. Charleston is nice to visit once every few years, but the rest of Low country I can do without.
2019 and 2023, both in Bank of America Stadium. That's assuming we don't meet in a bowl game before that. This is a great matchup and I'm happy it's going to continue. Sure, there are a few dumbass Gamecock fans but most of y'all are good folk and I enjoy the banter.
