President's Welcome

Welcome to the South Carolina Summary Court Judge's website. My name is Charlie Garrett and I am proud and honored to serve as President of the South Carolina Summary Court Judges Association (SCSCJA). I also serve as a Greenville County magistrate in the Chick Springs Summary Court in Taylors and have been doing so for the past 17 years.

On behalf of the Association, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our newly designed web site. This web site will provide public information for persons who are interested in Summary Court issues throughout our great state. This site is also designed for our current members to access secure information through a login system.

The general public will be able to access statutory laws, articles related to the South Carolina court system, historical information on our association and other general information.

Our members in good standing will be able to access many things that are going on within our Association. A calendar of events will provide access to schedules and will allow online registration for CLE classes. We will also explore the ability to network with other members through posts and blogs to share information or seek opinions on summary court issues.

We are extremely excited to provide this newly designed website to the public and most importantly, to our members.

Charlie Garrett, President

South Carolina Summary
Court Judges Association
