Per the Administrative Judge’s instructions, please only request protection in Greenville County Common Pleas Courts if you have a case set on the Roster and need protection for that term of court. If you have no cases on the roster, or if your protection needs do not coincide with the term of court the case is set for trial, it is not necessary to request protection.

If you have a case set on a Greenville County Roster, please go to the Greenville County Court Support Site at www.greenvillecounty.org/courtsupport and review the memo from the Court and the form which is located under "Download Forms". The "Court Term case is on Docket" field and the "Enter Protection Date/Dates Requested" field must be filled out and coincide. Protection needs should be addressed when the case is statused.

Requests or motions for continuances must be sent directly to the Administrative Judge for Common Pleas. Please do not send duplicate requests or motions for continuances to the Judge, Court Coordinators, or the Clerk of Court. When the Administrative Judge makes a final decision on your continuance request or motion, the Court Coordinator will advise you of the Judge's response via fax. Notice requirements should be requested at the Pre-Trial Conference or at the Roster Meeting the week of the scheduled trial.

Cases not reached during their scheduled term of court will be carried over to next court term and will be repositioned numerically by case number with the cases that have already been set for that week.
