Circuit Solicitor Publishes General Sessions Jury Dockets, Affecting Local Jurors

The Fourteenth Circuit Solicitor's Office today released its roster of jury trial dockets for the week of December 15 through 19, 2025. The circuit covers Allendale, Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper counties, and the published index includes an entry titled Beaufort County General Sessions jury trial docket for week of 12 15 2025. That entry and others on the index list potential jury trials for the week, identify presiding judges and provide case names and docket numbers for media and public planning.

For Allendale County residents the release is more than a schedule. The circuit wide listing reflects which courts will be in session, where jurors may be called and how local attorneys and law enforcement will allocate time and resources. Juror pools can draw across county lines in smaller circuits, and residents of Allendale could receive summonses to serve on trials taking place elsewhere in the circuit during the listed week. Court calendars also influence scheduling for family matters, preliminary hearings and other proceedings that rely on available courtroom time.

The solicitor's index exists to promote transparency and to help the media and public prepare for open court proceedings. For local news organizations and community members, the docket listing provides advance notice of when General Sessions courts will be convened and which matters may reach jury trial. That information can inform planning for travel to hearings, coordination with defense and prosecution teams and attention to public safety reporting.

Schedules published at the start of a court week are subject to change, and trial settings may be continued or rescheduled. Residents summoned for jury duty should check official notices for confirmation and follow the instructions included with any summons. The release underscores the central role that public access to court calendars plays in upholding an orderly legal process across the Five County circuit, and it signals when local legal and civic institutions will be most active in the coming days.
