The facility contains courtrooms, judges' offices, and secure areas for documents where proceedings follow formal procedures.
The court was established in 1789 and ranks among the country's oldest judicial institutions. Over the centuries, it underwent multiple reorganizations, including periods when it was divided into eastern and western districts, before consolidating into its current structure.
The court provides online filing systems and case calendars on its website so visitors can stay informed about proceedings. Electronic devices are not permitted in courtrooms, so you should turn off or leave phones outside during sessions.
The court was originally part of larger districts encompassing multiple states but has always focused on South Carolina. This evolution reflects how the federal judicial system has adapted over many centuries.
