Bea Hightower Joins University of South Carolina as an Adjunct Professor

Posted on December 10, 2012 by velocity9999

Having spent seven years of undergraduate and law school education at the University of South Carolina, Bea Hightower has decided it’s time to return. Except this time, she is going to be sharing knowledge instead of gaining it. Ms. Hightower will be serving in an adjunct teaching position, and her primary responsibility will be to teach the university’s course on Criminal Courts. It will explore the structure, organization and functions of the federal and state court systems.

Bea Hightower is a founding partner of the SC law firm, Reeves, Aiken & Hightower, LLP. She has an extensive criminal and litigation background, and has worked at the Berkeley County Deputy Attorney’s Office, the Richland County Public Defender’s Office and the Richland County DSS Child Support Enforcement Office.

Serving as a South Carolina attorney, Ms. Hightower focuses on cases involving clients who have been accused of DUI, DUAC, drug charges, credit card fraud, domestic violence, bad financial transactions, and other similar offenses. These experiences, coupled with her activity in various law associations and committees, give her the expertise needed to serve as an adjunct professor within the USC’s Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice.

About Reeves, Aiken & Hightower, LLP
