Are my login username and my Bar number the same thing?
Yes, if you’ve never used the new login, your login username is your Bar number.
In some circ*mstances you may have been given a username that is not your Bar number. Bar staff will, at times, change your username if you request it.
Do members have multiple logins?

Why do I need to login?
Users must log in to complete financial transactions, to access Fastcase, to view and edit their profile information, and to apply any relevant discounts.
I don't have access to my old e-mail but the password reminder goes to that e-mail address. What should I do?
All contact information, including primary email and alternate email addresses, is maintained in the South Carolina Supreme Court's Attorney Information System (AIS). The SC Bar also uses the contact information that you provide in AIS. You must update your contact information, including your email addresses, by accessing the Attorney Information System (AIS) at ais.sccourts.org. If the primary email address in AIS is no longer valid and you have forgotten your AIS password, you must call AIS technical support at 855-235-2500 (8:30 am - 5:00 pm) to obtain a temporary password.
Do I need to log in just to visit the site?
No. The majority of the South Carolina Bar's website is accessible without logging in. However, logging in allows you access to Fastcase and to securely pay membership dues, review transaction history and change information contained in your member profile.
What if I prefer to use an email address that is different from the one in my SC Bar profile?
This information is maintained through the court's Attorney Information System (AIS). You will need to login to the AIS system at ais.sccourts.organd make the change there. **Note: this will change your email address for all future communication from SC Bar, as well as the Bar's directory listing.
