COLUMBIA, S.C. – Amy L.B. Hill, of counsel with Sowell Gray Stepp & Laffitte, LLC, will be awarded the James Petigru Compleat Lawyer Award Silver Medallion at an awards banquet in April.

The University of South Carolina School of Law Alumni Association bestows the honor annually to attorneys who demonstrate outstanding professional and civic accomplishments.
The award goes only to those who exemplify the highest standards of professional competence, ethics and integrity. The Silver Medallion is for those who have practiced less than 14 years.

Her colleagues are pleased that Hill was selected to receive the prestigious award. “Amy is a tremendous asset to the South Carolina Bar. I’m very pleased and proud that Amy’s many contributions will be recognized in such a meaningful way,” Managing Member Cal Watson said.

She has a lengthy resume of professional and community service. Hill recently was elected president-elect of the Richland County Bar, and she’ll become president of the group in December. She’s served on the executive committee since 2010.

She’s served the South Carolina legal community, too. She currently chairs the South Carolina Bar Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee, and she’s previously served as vice chair of the South Carolina Bar Young Lawyers Foundation and as co-chair of the South Carolina Bar Young Lawyers Division Minority and Diversity Committee. She served on the South Carolina Bar Ethics Advisory Committee from 2006-08.
