RULE 9

CIVIL RULES APPLICABLE

Except as otherwise provided in these rules, the South Carolina Rules of Evidence applicable to non-jury civil proceedings and the South Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure apply in lawyer discipline cases following the filing of formal charges, incapacity cases, and proceedings to determine whether a lawyer is unable to participate in a disciplinary investigation or assist in the defense of formal proceedings due to a physical or mental condition. The right to discovery, however, applies only after formal charges have been filed and shall be limited to that provided by Rule 25.
