weekend in South Carolina.

The South Carolina Trial Lawyers Association says the

environmental advocate and legal crusader will address about 1,000

attendees during the group's annual meeting on Saturday on Hilton

Head Island.

Brockovich rose to prominence when she put together a landmark

1996 water pollution case that won the residents of the a small

California desert town a $333 million settlement from state utility

Pacific Gas & Electric Co.

The story of that case was told in the 2000 movie "Erin

Brockovich," which earned Julia Roberts a best-actress Oscar.

Today, Brockovich operates a consulting company.
