Excerpt

Outside of the courtroom, Marguerite brings her unique blend of ingenuity and tenacity to championing women's initiatives. She is particularly passionate about helping women develop a strong understanding of financial issues and how to leverage that knowledge to the best of their advantage. In addition to lecturing, she is actively involved as past president of the South Carolina Women Lawyers Association and as a former member of the board of trustees of Columbia College, a private all-girls school in South Carolina devoted to instilling the principles of leadership.
