Motley & Rice, L.L.C.

MOTLEY RICE DONATES $25,000 TO LOCAL CHILDREN’S CENTER
Motley Rice LLC, of Mt. Pleasant, S.C., one of the nation’s largest plaintiffs’ law firms, today announced that it has made a donation in the amount of $25,000 to the Carolina Youth Development Center. The firm presented a check to the North Charleston-based center on Tuesday, December 5th during its annual Holiday program. This donation is the first in several charitable gifts the firm will make in the coming months to charities and organizations in the Charleston area as a result of the legal fees received in the July settlement of the Stratford High School civil lawsuit. The lawsuit arose from the November 2003 school-authorized search and seizure that involved weapons and police dogs.

Motley Rice selected the CYDC as its first recipient because of the many prevention programs the center offers for at-risk youth. One such program is the Bakker Career Center, which is dedicated to providing underprivileged youth with the job and life skills needed to become independent, productive, self-sufficient adults. Motley Rice’s donation will be used for programming at the Bakker Career Center, including lessons in entrepreneurship, personal development, academic skills, career training and life management.

“At Motley Rice, it is our mission to fight for those in need and help ensure that they are afforded resources and tools to create a better life,” stated Motley Rice attorney Marlon Kimpson, who together with attorneys Ron Motley, Joe Rice and Fritz Jekel, worked on the Stratford case. “With its long tradition of serving the Lowcountry’s children – offering a continuum of care for abused, neglected and emotionally disabled youth – we believe the CYDC shares this mission and therefore we are pleased to offer them this gift.
