South Carolina Articles of Correction are a set of legal documents used to correct or modify a prior judgment or order in the state of South Carolina. This type of document is commonly used in civil cases to make changes to court judgments, orders, or decrees from prior cases. There are three main types of South Carolina Articles of Correction: modification, vacation, and new trial. A modification can be used to change or clarify a prior judgment or order, while a vacation is used to completely nullify or erase a prior judgment or order. Finally, a new trial is used to set aside a prior judgment or order and order a new trial on the same issue or matter. All three types of South Carolina Articles of Correction can be requested by the parties involved in a case, or by a court itself.
