Incest in Dixie: The Mississippi Legal Profession As the Scruggs wildfire rages, there has been much bloviating by the media and politicians over reforming the legal system in Mississippi.

Hampton tries to carry water for Hood, but spills the bucket
“Sunshine” bill Let’s be clear here. This is a direct partisan attack on Attorney General Jim Hood. It is Republican inspired and it is directed at the state’s top Democrat. He is vulnerable on the issue politically, admittedly much to his own doing. He set himself up with bad political decisions involving outside counsel and…

FOLO – Kirk v. Pope: Strange Event #4?
Kirk v. Pope: Strange Event #4? According to the Jerry Mitchell C/L story linked above, in reducing the damages, Judge DeLaughter did something else. The C/L story says: “In 2003, DeLaughter lowered Kirk’s award to $400,000, saying Pope’s trial counsel was inadequate.” That is very unusual thing for a judge to put in an order,…

FOLO – Ya think the F.B.I. reads FOLO
Ya think the F.B.I. reads FOLO Again today, Mitchell must report that he can’t locate his old friend DeLaughter for comment; nor, of course, has anybody espied Ed Peters since approximately the dawn of Scruggsiana; nor will a one of the lawyers involved in Kirk or Eaton give Jerry a moment either.
