SUMMARY: The Capital Complex Improvement District (CCID) now has its own court, following years of legal challenges. Located at 201 South Jefferson Street, the court is overseen by the state, not Jackson officials. It was established after the NAACP dropped its lawsuit against House Bill 1020, which expanded Capitol Police’s jurisdiction. Critics argued it undermined Jackson’s local authority, while proponents believe the court will help reduce crime. Mississippi Supreme Court Chief Justice Michael Randolph appointed three local judges. The court will handle misdemeanor offenses, traffic citations, and initial felony appearances, with all fines directed to Jackson.
