Rule appendix-of-forms Appendix of Forms

South Carolina's civil court rules include a set of ready-made forms that people can use in their cases. These forms are attached to Rule 84 and cover common situations that come up in civil lawsuits. Instead of creating documents from scratch, parties can use these standard templates to make sure they include the right information.

The forms cover a few different needs. One is a form for putting up money or security to cover court costs if someone is worried the other side may not be able to pay. Another is a juror summons, which is the official notice sent to people telling them they need to report for jury duty. There's also a form for applying for post-conviction relief, which is used when someone wants to challenge a criminal conviction after their case is already over. Finally, there's a subpoena form, which is used to legally require someone to show up in court or hand over documents or evidence.

Each form is available as either a PDF (Acrobat) or a Word document, so people can pick whichever format is easier for them to fill out. Using these official forms helps make sure paperwork meets the court's requirements and includes all the necessary details.
