It is with profound sorrow that we note the passing of one of South Carolina’s most valiant protectors of the environment. Environmental lawyer Jimmy Chandler spent his life standing up to developers and corporations whose practices would threaten our precious natural resources.
Jimmy's non-profit South Carolina Environmental Law Project was responsible for many landmark decisions and set the tone for protecting our environment. Jimmy was a gentle man who knew how to stand firm for what he believed while being respectful and caring at the same time. He was loved by the whole environmental community and respected by those who opposed him. There will never be another like him. Rest in peace, beloved hero.
