This Comment examines whether and how South Carolina rules governing the admission to the practice of law may change as a result of globalization and the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS). This Comment argues that the GATS creates the potential, although highly unlikely, of requiring more relaxed standards for the admission to practice in South Carolina. More importantly, the GATS and its provisions dealing with legal services require South Carolina lawyers to pay more attention to the effects of globalization on the state’s legal community.
