Greenville, SC: Solicitor Bob Ariail announced he will seek a third term as solicitor for the 13th Judicial Circuit. The 13th Judicial Circuit serves both Greenville and Pickens counties. Ariail was appointed as the 13th's top cop in 1997 by former-Governor David Beasley after his predecessor Dan Watson resigned to become a circuit court judge. Ariail ran unopposed and was elected in 1998 and 2002. (The Solicitor serves a 4-year term.)
Chief Justice Jean Toal requested a state-wide full court press to improve the availability and the speedy, efficient handling of case loads by the Judicial System. Ariail was quoted in the Greenville News as stating "the circuit has made progress in reducing the time from arrest to disposition of cases...but there is more work to be done."

Bob Ariail graduated from Greenville High, attended college at Wofford and graduated from the University of South Carolina School of Law. He worked as an ADA for 2-years before he moved into private practice. Ariail worked as a part-timer in the Solicitor's office in 1974, rising through the ranks until being tapped by Gov Beasley.
