We’ve focused on our Legislative officials this election season – let’s now hear about our Judicial branch with our guest former Chief Justice William L. “Bill” Waller Jr.
Today’s Legal Terms on In Legal Terms are: APPELLATE JURISDICTION, JUDICIAL, ADMINISTRATION, and RULEMAKING AUTHORITY
Elections are over! Oh, not they’re not. Do you have a runoff election on Tuesday, December 1st? If you live in Hinds, Covington, Forrest, Perry, Rankin, Simpson, or Stone Counties you might.
It’s too late to register to vote for these elections on December 1st but there’s always another election. As this past week has shown, it’s so important to register to vote, double check that you are still registered, and to know your correct polling place. Those are three reasons why many affidavit ballots were rejected in this past election cycle.
The Mississippi Supreme Court meets in the Carroll Gartin Justice Building located in downtown Jackson, Mississippi. What else is in downtown Jackson? The 83rd National Folk Festival will be going on Friday the 13th, Saturday, and Sunday the 15th of November. The free event is in its 2nd of 3 years residency in Mississippi. Musical Artists from all over the world come to Jackson, MS for a revival of dance, culture and sounds. See and hear a diverse range of music, from Blues, bluegrass, Cajun, Hawaiian, Afro-Colombian, Filipino, and more. You can watch parts of last year’s event on MPB’s website but we encourage you to come to downtown Jackson to watch this year’s festival in person or listen to live selections on MPB Think Radio.
In Legal Terms, the show where we break down the law, explain how it works, and help make it a little less intimidating for everyday Mississippians is hosted by attorney Adam Kilgore. legalterms@mbponline.org
