Mississippi courthouses begin posting signs reminding of rights to translator
SUMMARY: Mississippi courthouses are introducing signs to inform non-English speakers of their right to a free interpreter during court proceedings, as mandated by a state law effective July 1, 2023. The signs, featuring translations in the state’s most common non-English languages—Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, French, Arabic, Tagalog, German, Korean, and Gujarati—read, “You are entitled to an interpreter at no cost to you.” Initially, the signs have been placed in several counties, including Warren and Claiborne. Deenie Miller, director of language access, is visiting courthouses to discuss logistical challenges regarding interpreter services and promote equal access for limited English proficient individuals.

SUMMARY: After a severe 111-39 loss to Missouri, Mississippi Valley State’s men’s basketball team used humor on social media to cope with the situation. Responding to ESPN’s stats highlighting how Missouri outscored them in key areas, the Delta Devils’ account quipped, “Uncalled for.” Additionally, they expressed frustration over a controversial blocking foul during the game, arguing it should have been a charge. Their playful remarks provided a lighthearted take on an otherwise disheartening evening. The team is set to face Texas next in their ongoing road game stretch against SEC opponents.
