South Dakota Courts Considering Merger | Pierre News

South Dakota’s Unified Judicial System is eyeing a major shake-up out west—potentially merging the administrative sides of the Fourth and Seventh Judicial Circuits to boost efficiency across 16 counties including Pennington, Meade, Lawrence, and Custer. But don’t get too excited: it’s still very much in the early stages. Public input is key—attend one of three upcoming town halls in Rapid City, Sturgis, or Lemmon, or submit written comments by October 1. All feedback will be reviewed before any official proposal heads to the South Dakota Supreme Court. Your voice matters if you live in these counties.
