A South Carolina Order for Change of Venue is a legal document issued by the court to move a trial from one county to another. This document is usually requested when a party believes that they will not receive a fair trial in the county where the case is currently assigned. South Carolina has two types of Orders for Change of Venue: a General Order and a Special Order. A General Order is issued when the parties agree to a change of venue and both sign a consent form. This type of order is relatively straightforward and does not require a hearing. A Special Order is issued when the parties do not agree to a change of venue. In this case, a hearing must be held to determine whether the trial should be moved to another county. The hearing is presided over by a judge and the parties are given an opportunity to present their arguments for and against the change of venue. The judge will then decide if a change of venue is necessary in order to ensure a fair trial. If the judge approves the change of venue, a South Carolina Order for Change of Venue will be issued. This document must be served on all parties involved in the case, and they will be required to follow the order and appear in the new county for the trial.
