S.C. R. Magis. Ct. 15
Exchange of Information Between Parties; Settlement
(a) Recognizing the unique nature of the court's jurisdiction and the need for a speedy determination
of actions filed in the court, the prompt voluntary exchange of information and documents by parties
prior to trial is encouraged, but in no event shall the court require such exchange.
(b) The court, with both parties present, shall confer with the parties before any trial whenever it
appears that a conference might simplify the issues, shorten the trial, or lead to a voluntary exchange
of information which might promote settlement. The court in its discretion may order that a list of
exhibits a party intends to offer into evidence at the trial be furnished to the opposing party and/or
that the opposing party be given a reasonable opportunity to copy or examine the exhibits.
