Rule 73 Procedure on Appeal to Supreme Court or Court of Appeals

If you want to appeal a case to the South Carolina Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals, you don't follow the regular civil court rules anymore. Instead, you have to follow a different set of rules called the South Carolina Appellate Court Rules.

These appellate rules cover things like deadlines for filing an appeal, what documents you need to submit, and how the appeal process works from start to finish. Since the process for appeals is different from a regular trial, this rule simply points you to where the real instructions are found.

If you're planning to appeal, make sure you look up the South Carolina Appellate Court Rules directly. They will tell you exactly what steps to take and when to take them.
