What Circuit is SC in?

• A. 3rd Circuit
• B. 4th Circuit
• C. 5th Circuit
• D. 8th Circuit

Answer: (B)

Circuit assignments are geographic groupings of appellate courts. South Carolina sits in the Fourth Circuit, which includes Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. This is why SC belongs to the Fourth Circuit rather than the Third, Fifth, or Eighth circuits. The Third Circuit covers states like New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware; the Fifth covers Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi; the Eighth covers Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. So the circuit for South Carolina is the Fourth Circuit.
