SCRE 1005
Public Records
The contents of an official record, or of a document authorized to be recorded or filed and actually
recorded or filed, including data compilations in any form, if otherwise admissible, may be proved by
copy, certified as correct in accordance with Rule 902 or testified to be correct by a witness who has
compared it with the original. If a copy which complies with the foregoing cannot be obtained by the
exercise of reasonable diligence, then other evidence of the contents may be given.
Note:
This rule is identical to the federal rule and is substantially similar to S.C. Code Ann. §
19-5-10 (1985) and Rule 44, SCRCP.

The link goes to the issuing authority’s own document — the one we read to produce this record. Where a source publishes whole titles rather than sections, your browser may need a moment to jump to the provision.
Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
