Christopher Leicht

JD Graduate, Class of 2022

Columbia, South Carolina, United States

About

I am a graduate of the University of South Carolina School of Law, where I gained experience in multiple legal fields, including criminal, real estate, and family law. I am currently seeking employment in my home state of Georgia, and my bar results are pending as of February 2025. During law school, I joined the UofSC moot court team and was extremely honored to be inducted into the Order of Barristers. I have clerked for Low Country Legal Volunteers, a family law-based clinic serving indigent clients. I've also gained experience as an intern for the Charleston County Public Defender's Office, the Dial Firm, and the UofSC Domestic Violence Clinic-where I served as a student attorney and represented clients seeking temporary orders of protection. With the help of many friends, family, and teachers at Pickens County High School, I became a Zell Miller Scholarship recipient and attended the University of Georgia, where I earned my BBA in Economics. I wish to further my career in North Georgia and practice what I have learned in both my undergraduate and graduate programs.
