How the South Carolina Supreme Court’s ODC Disciplinary Process Works | Eric Bland Complaint

How does the South Carolina Supreme Court’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) actually work—and what happens when an attorney is accused of ethical misconduct?

In this video, investigative journalist James Seidel of Crime and Cask Investigations / CC News Network breaks down the ODC disciplinary process step by step, explaining how complaints are screened, investigated, and—when warranted—formally charged under the Rules of Professional Conduct.

Using the Eric Bland complaint as a real-world example, we explain:

How ODC complaints are initiated and evaluated

What it means when an investigation is opened

The difference between screening, informal resolution, and formal charges

Why some complaints move quickly while others remain confidential

What sanctions are possible if violations are proven

This is not legal advice—this is a public-information explainer designed to help journalists, lawyers, and the public understand how attorney discipline works in South Carolina, free from rumor or spin.

If you care about transparency, accountability, and how the legal system polices its own, this is a must-watch.
