Experienced attorney and former state legislator brings deep legal expertise and a commitment to public service to the role.

The City of Camden is pleased to announce the appointment of Laurie Slade Funderburk as its new City Prosecutor.

“We are proud to have an accomplished professional like Laurie Funderburk assisting our police officers in court,” said Vincent Sheheen. “Her experience and dedication will strengthen our commitment to justice and public safety.”

“I am honored by this appointment and the opportunity to serve my hometown,” said Funderburk. “I look forward to working with law enforcement, City leaders, and residents to support a safe and strong community.”

In her role, Funderburk will represent the City in municipal court, working closely with law enforcement to prosecute cases and support the administration of justice.

With a lifelong connection to Camden, Funderburk brings a deep background in law and public service to her role as City Prosecutor. She served 16 years in the South Carolina House of Representatives, where she was a member of the Judiciary and Ethics Committees and served as Vice-Chair of the Oversight Committee.

A graduate of the University of South Carolina School of Law, Funderburk also served as a law clerk for the South Carolina Senate Judiciary Committee. Most recently, she served as State Executive Director for the South Carolina Farm Service Agency.

She has since reestablished her law firm, Funderburk Law, LLC, where her practice focuses on estate planning. Her extensive legal experience and commitment to public service position her well to support the City’s ongoing efforts to uphold public safety and accountability.
