SUMMARY: The office of the Hinds County Department of Human Services in Mississippi is closed due to ongoing maintenance and mechanical issues. This closure has caused difficulties for SNAP recipients, with some individuals struggling to find groceries and communicate with the department. The executive director of MDHS, Bob Anderson, explains that there have been problems with the bathrooms, mold, and paint remover. Although staff have been relocated to other buildings, they are waiting for temporary changes to be made by the Hinds County Board of Supervisors so they can reopen the office. In the meantime, individuals can apply for assistance online.

SUMMARY: Students at Southern Miss had the opportunity to witness real legal proceedings as a three-judge panel from the Mississippi Court of Appeals held oral arguments on a manslaughter case during the university‘s “Court on the Road” program. This event was part of the annual pre-law week activities, aimed at enhancing students’ understanding of the legal profession. Participants, mainly from USM’s Legal Services Program, engaged in discussions with judges after the arguments, gaining insights into the appellate process. The court last visited the campus eight years ago, making this a significant educational experience for aspiring lawyers.
