Continuances | Clerk of Court

A Circuit Court judge is the only person that may grant a continuance or postpone a hearing or trial. The proper procedure for requesting a continuance is to file a written request for continuance with the presiding Administrative Judge stating the reason for your request. All opposing parties must also be notified of this request.

A Request for Continuance will be treated as a motion and will thus be subject to a twenty-five dollar ($25.00) filing fee pursuant to з8-21-320 of the South Carolina Code of Laws.

Laws relating to ethics prevent judges and the Clerk of CourtТs staff from giving any legal advice.

The laws and rules pertaining to matters heard by the Circuit Court may be researched in the Greenville County Main Library, Greenville County Law Library, which is located on the first floor of the County Courthouse, or the Greenville Technical College Library (Barton Campus).
