Litigation Overview & Court-Filing Index
A neutral, primary-source index of the South Carolina suits Nancy Mace has filed as plaintiff — a defamation case and a property case — with the public docket of each and links to the dispatches that quote the filings.
Last updated June 9, 2026
This entry is a neutral index of South Carolina civil cases Nancy Mace has filed as plaintiff, drawn from the public docket of the Charleston County Court of Common Pleas. Every case below is searchable on the South Carolina Judicial Branch Public Index (publicindex.sccourts.org) by case number. Allegations in any pleading are the contentions of the filing party and are not findings of fact unless adopted by the court in an order; where a party has denied an allegation, that denial is part of the record.
Court filings are public records. The dispatches linked below quote them verbatim and attribute each quotation to the document and party that produced it. This index is being built out case by case; additional matters and filings will be added.
Standards for this section
Because litigation is easily mischaracterized, this section holds to a higher sourcing bar than the rest of the wiki: no matter is summarized without a citation to the underlying filing or order, and allegations are labeled as allegations until adjudicated. The dockets include administrative entries (electronic-filing notices, pro hac vice admissions, continuances) that are listed for completeness but carry no quotable substance; standalone dispatches were written only for the substantive filings.
