How do I request a change of venue in an appeal?

Making a request for a change of venue in a South Carolina appellate court is a complex process that must be done correctly. In South Carolina, such requests are known as “requests for transfer.” The first step in requesting a transfer is to file your request with the appellate court. Typically, you will need to include a written request and an affidavit from the party filing the request. The affidavit should affirm that the Appellant has good cause for the transfer to be granted. In addition, the request should include any supporting documents, such as a written statement or witness testimony, that may help to strengthen the Appellant’s case. Once the request has been filed, the appellate court will consider whether or not to grant the transfer. If the court believes that there is good cause for the transfer to be granted, they will then set a date for a hearing to determine if the transfer should be granted. During the hearing, the Appellant can present evidence and testimony to support their request. The appellate court will then decide whether or not to grant the transfer after considering all of the evidence. It is important to note that requests for transfer are rarely granted. The appellate court takes into consideration the interests of justice and the costs associated with the transfer in making their decision. Therefore, it is important that Appellants provide convincing evidence to support their request in order to increase their chances of the transfer being granted.
