A house RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE THE HONORABLE AMY MCCULLOCH, PROBATE 
JUDGE OF RICHLAND COUNTY, UPON THE OCCASION OF HER ELECTION AS PRESIDENT OF THE 
NATIONAL COLLEGE OF PROBATE JUDGES.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives have learned that the Honorable Amy 
McCulloch, Richland County probate judge, has been elected president of the 
National College of Probate Judges; and

Whereas, the National 
College of Probate Judges, organized in 1968, is the only national organization 
exclusively dedicated to improving probate law and probate courts. Among its 
purposes is the provision of continuing judicial education for probate judges 
and related personnel; and

Whereas, Judge McCulloch, 
a former 5th Circuit assistant solicitor (1991-1996), was first elected probate 
judge in Richland County in 1998. She has been re-elected to successive four-year 
terms ever since; and

Whereas, her duties as 
probate judge include overseeing estates of deceased persons, guardianship 
issues, marriage licenses, the involuntary commitment of individuals to 
institutions, or matters of trust. Judge McCulloch also has worked on issues 
concerning mental and behavioral health, including abuse and suicide 
prevention. Among her accomplishments as a probate judge is the establishment 
of a website for issues concerning estates, marriage licenses, and other areas 
of legal interest. In the future, she plans to aim at supplying more education to 
probate judges on how to oversee guardianships and conservatorships; and

Whereas, Columbia 
native Amy McCulloch is a 1984 graduate of Dreher High School, as well as a 
1987 graduate of the University of South Carolina and a 1990 University of 
South Carolina School of Law graduate; and

Whereas, the House 
takes great pleasure in recognizing Judge McCulloch on this, her latest 
accolade, her election to serve as president of the National College of Probate 
Judges. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate 
the Honorable Amy McCulloch, a probate judge of Richland County, upon the 
occasion of her election as president of the National College of Probate 
Judges.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to the Honorable Amy McCulloch.
