Couick, Chief Counsel\nJane O. Shuler, Senate Counsel\nCHAIRMAN McCONNELL:\tWe'll go on and open the hearing at this time.  The Judicial Merit Selection Commission is called pursuant to Chapter 19 of Title 2, South Carolina Code of Laws, requiring the review of candidates for judicial office.  The function of the Commission is not to choose between candidates, but rather to declare whether or not the candidates who offer for positions on the bench are, in our judgment, qualified to fill the position.  The inquiry we undertake is a thorough one.  It centers around the Commission's nine evaluative criteria and involves a complete personal and professional background check on every candidate.  These public hearings are convened for the purpose of screening candidates for the following positions.  One vacancy on the Court of Appeals, one vacancy in the Family Court, and two retired judges.  And we have published an agenda of proposed public hearings in the booklets for you.  They would begin this morning with the Judge Alison Renee Lee and would be expected to end with the final hearing at 2:05 p.m. with Judge A. Victor Rawl.  Before we proceed to our first screenings I would ask if there are any motions by any members of the Commission regarding the agenda.\nJUDGE SHAW:\tI make a motion we waive Judge Rawl's appearance.\nREP. F.N. SMITH:\tSecond.\nCHAIRMAN McCONNELL:\tThe motion has been made that the hearing for Judge Rawl's appearance before the Commission be waived.  It has been moved and seconded.  The floor is now open for discussion.  Is there any discussion?  There being no discussion, then we will immediately go to a vote.  All in favor say aye, opposed by nay.  Ayes have it, and it is carried.  If you would so notify Judge Rawl.  Please change your agendas to reflect that the last screening then will now be at 1:45 p.m. on the proposed schedule.  Are there other further pieces of business to be taken up before we begin the first screening?  All right.  With that, get Judge Alison Renee Lee.\nWe have before us Judge Alison Renee Lee.  She is offering for the Court of Appeals, Seat Number 3.
