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.

SUMMARY: Hurricane Francine’s passage through the Pine Belt elicited mixed feelings among local farmers. Pearl River County faced more impacts than others, receiving tropical storm-force winds and heavy rainfall of 6 to 8 inches. While strong winds damaged some corn crops, the severity of the impact varied based on corn variety and planting location. Despite these challenges, some farmers found benefits for their soybean crops, calling the rainfall a “drought buster.” The moisture also led to a surge in grasshopper populations, affecting soybean plants. Overall, the storm’s effects highlighted the complex relationship between weather and agriculture.
