CJA eVoucher AI Billing Tool
for D.S.C. Panel Attorneys

The United States District Court for the District of South Carolina is a single federal district covering the entire state, with eight courthouse locations: Columbia (the primary courthouse, home to the clerk's office and chief judge's chambers), Charleston, Greenville, Florence, Anderson, Aiken, Beaufort, and Rock Hill. D.S.C. sits within the Fourth Circuit and serves a state whose federal criminal caseload spans the coastal port economy of Charleston, the upstate Piedmont manufacturing and university corridor anchored by Greenville, the Pee Dee tobacco-country communities around Florence, and the military installations concentrated in the Beaufort area — including Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, Parris Island, and Beaufort Naval Hospital.

The district's federal criminal docket includes drug trafficking (particularly cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine distribution — with significant I-26 and I-85 corridor interdiction cases), firearms offenses, financial fraud, public corruption, and crimes arising from military installations. The Port of Charleston, one of the largest container ports on the East Coast, generates federal criminal jurisdiction over cargo crimes and customs violations. The Florence division handles cases from the Pee Dee region, where distribution networks moving drugs from coastal ports inland to the Carolinas generate substantial federal prosecutions. CJA panel attorneys in D.S.C. may be appointed in any of the district's eight divisions and must travel accordingly.
