Litigation Services Coordinator

About State Grand Jury Prosecution
 Working as an Administrative Coordinator with the State Grand Jury Division is a unique position that supports complex and sometimes high-profile investigations and prosecutions. State Grand Jury prosecutors and staff work closely with the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) and other state, local, and federal partners to develop complex investigations into such subjects as cartel drug trafficking, public corruption, complex white-collar matters, and gang violence. State Grand Jury prosecutors use the power of the State Grand Jury to compel witnesses to testify and to subpoena different types of evidence to develop these complex investigations before indictment. Once a case is indicted by the State Grand Jury, a division prosecutor is responsible for resolving the cases from his or her investigation in general sessions court, whether by plea or jury trial.
