August 8, 2016
The South Carolina Association for Justice (SCAJ) has named a new President. Lowcountry attorney Alex Cash of Rosen Hagood is taking over the leadership of the State’s largest association of plaintiff lawyers. He will be replacing R. Alexander Murdaugh, with the firm of Peters, Murdaugh, Parker, Eltzroth & Detrick, whose term has expired.
SCAJ has over 1300 members and is the State’s leading advocate for matters related to justice and access to fairness under the law. Cash’s new leadership role became official at the Association’s annual meeting this past weekend in Hilton Head.
“Our group works tirelessly to protect the rights granted to us under the Constitution. Before becoming president, I was an active member for over fifteen years. I’m proud of the work the Association accomplishes and look forward to helping continue its efforts to gain access to justice for all citizens,” said Cash.
Alex Cash has practiced law with Rosen Hagood since 1991 and his areas of practice include family law and personal injury cases. A regular Charleston School of Law guest lecturer and instructor of continuing legal education seminars, Cash is committed to sharing his background and expertise with the legal community.
Cash was selected by the National Trial Lawyers Association as one of South Carolina’s Top 100 Trial Lawyers, and he was named as a member of the Top One Percent by the National Association of Distinguished Counsel. He has also served as a member of the SCAJ leadership over the years, including service as Vice-President and Secretary/Treasurer.
Cash earned his law degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He graduated magna cum laude from Florida State University and received a Master of Music with Distinction from Indiana University. He has performed with numerous orchestras, including the Spoleto Orchestra in both Charleston and Italy.
At the SCAJ annual convention, several other attorneys rose to new positions of leadership. Hugh McAngus became President—elect and Thiele McVey was elected Vice-President with James “Jay” Ward now serving as Secretary/Treasurer.
