South Carolina’s legislature will choose a new Supreme Court justice in 2026 after incumbent John Few faces challenges over his judicial record and age-related eligibility.
A South Carolina Supreme Court seat is up for grabs in a rare legislative selection, with incumbent Justice John Few facing challengers including former House Speaker Jay Lucas, Chief Administrative Law Judge Ralph Anderson, and Appeals Court Judge Blake Hewitt.
The Judicial Merit Selection Commission is evaluating candidates on qualifications, with scrutiny over Few’s record, including a 2023 abortion law ruling and later support for a similar law.
Lucas, nearing the state’s 72-year retirement age, claims he can serve a full term, though officials cite a 2022 opinion requiring retirement at 72 without special permission.
The final decision will be made by the state legislature in spring 2026.
