Two Districts Proposed for South Carolina Judicial System
Washington May 29. Representative Aiken proposes splitting South Carolina into two federal judicial districts with a western district including Oconee Pickens Anderson Greenville Spartanburg Laurens Abbeville Greenwood Edgefield Saluda Newberry Union Cherokee Chester Lancaster Fairfield. The other counties stay in the existing district and each district would have separate court officials. The plan hinges on committee action and presidential appointment of a new judge if enacted. Local lawmakers have long backed towns’ district interests and Greenville Spartanburg Rock Hill Chester Greenwood were focal points in earlier battles.
