Earlier this month, Yarborough Applegate’s team joined legal leaders from across the state at South Carolina Association for Justice’s (SCAJ) Annual Convention. Partner Douglas E. Jennings was among those invited to present during the three-day event.
Jennings’ presentation focused on obtaining and utilizing forensic cell phone evidence in litigation, specifically in regards to trucking/tractor trailer cases—an area Jennings devotes much of his practice to. The talk was part of the Annual Convention’s Young Lawyers Seminar, of which Yarborough Applegate’s own Liam Duffy is the chair.
Each August, our attorneys seize the opportunity to help advance our profession by leading, teaching, and sharing information from our legal work at the SCAJ Annual Convention. This year, a dozen seminars by leading legal experts were delivered over three days on topics spanning ethics, torts and negligence, workers compensation, employment law, social security, criminal law, and environmental law.
The South Carolina Association for Justice is a member-based organization devoted to protecting the legal rights of the citizens of South Carolina. At Yarborough Applegate, we’re proud to not only be members, but also leaders within the group. In addition to Duffy serving as chair of its Young Lawyers Section, partner David Lail sits on SCAJ’s Board of Governors and last year was nominated to its Honors and Awards Committee.
Douglas Jennings and Liam Duffy of Yarborough Applegate, alongside Ronnie Sabb of Sabb Law Group, settled a lawsuit on the eve of trial on behalf of a client who broke her ankle after her car slammed into a logging truck that was improperly parked on the side of the road.
Yarborough Applegate attorney Liam Duffy continues his thought leadership amongst trial lawyers in his latest published article, “The Golden Rule in Opening Statement and Closing Argument: What It Is and What It Isn’t.”
The organization’s motto, “Advocates for Fairness Under the Law,” illustrates the simple mission of trial lawyers serving those who they have sworn to protect.
This month, join us as we commemorate some of our team’s incredible accomplishments in both their personal and professional lives.

Jennings’ article covers best practices for preserving, obtaining, and using cell phone evidence in a case. It’s a topic he knows well from years working cases and presenting to peers on the practice area.
