Congratulations to Attorney Jessica Carr!

Congratulations to Jessica Carr in her recent election to the Board of Commissioners for the Mississippi Bar representing Bolivar, Tunica, Coahoma, and Quitman Counties!

Bar Commissioners serve as the governing board of the The Mississippi Bar, including setting policy, approving bylaws, and managing the Bar's finances. Commissioners also oversee disciplinary procedures, employ staff, and act as the executive agency for the bar to ensure the preservation of good order and conduct among its members. Bar Commissioners review and approve disciplinary actions against attorneys, set salaries for employees of the Mississippi Bar, and have the power to create various practice sections which work to improve specific areas of law. Finally, Commissioners have the power to speak on behalf of the Mississippi Bar and take necessary actions for the effective governance of the Bar. Commissioners serve a three year term.

Jessica practices at Carr Law Firm where she specializes in criminal defense in municipal, justice, and circuit courts across north Mississippi.
