Amici Curiae of NAELA and South Carolina Protection and Advocacy Agency

NAELA signed on to an amicus prepared by the South Carolina Protection and Advocacy Agency asking that the South Carolina Court of Appeals reissue its decision in Mims v. South Carolina Department of Disabilities and Special Needs as a published opinion. The matter focuses on the fact that the Court ruled for the first time in South Carolina that the appointment of a guardian does not affect the tolling statute, so you still have a five-year extension, even if a guardian has been appointed. The objective is to gain publication so that the opinion has precedential value.
