S.C. App. Ct. R. 9
As amended through June 24, 2024
Except as otherwise provided in these rules, the South Carolina Rules of Evidence applicable to non-jury civil proceedings and the South Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure apply in judicial discipline cases following the filing of formal charges, incapacity cases, and proceedings to determine whether a judge is unable to participate in a disciplinary investigation or assist in the defense of formal proceedings due to a physical or mental condition. The right to discovery, however, applies only after formal charges have been filed and shall be limited to that provided by Rule 25.
