Your eyes are not deceiving you
September 20, 2024 § 27 Comments
My name is Donald Campbell. I am a professor at Mississippi College School of Law where I teach in the areas of Property, Wills & Trusts, and legal ethics. When I first started teaching Wills a colleague told me that I had to subscribe to Judge Primeaux’s blog. I did, and thereafter I looked forward to every post that he made. And it was not just me. There is no doubt that Judge Primeaux’s blog was a go-to for all things chancery (and beyond) for years. When Judge Primeaux decided to step away from blogging it was a loss for the profession.
I am excited to announce that with the judge’s blessing, I am hoping to bring back a version of Better Chancery Blog. The focus will still be on issues/cases that arise in chancery court. Of course the problem is that I can never produce the “my thoughts” comments that pulled back the curtain on how a judge thinks. I am hoping that, through the comments members of the bar and bench can engage in a discussion of how these issues arise in practice.
Although I realize I am burying the lead, I am truly honored to have Dean Debbie Bell as a contributor to the blog on family law issues. Dean Bell needs no introduction. Her book (Bell on Mississippi Family Law) is a well-respected and often-cited treatise on family law in Mississippi. I am excited to see the insight that Dean Bell will bring to the blog.
To give you a sense of how the blog will operate going forward, I hope to post twice a week. A post on Tuesday that covers a recent issue or case. Then a post on Friday that looks at a case or issue that may not be directly related to current issues in Mississippi law. If there are any suggestions on improving the blog as we move forward, please to not hesitate to reach out.

Thank you.
Much missed source of what to do and what does not work and why.
The “and why part” is what is called education. Imparting understanding.

thank you.
Congratulations Donald! I look forward to your future posts. Kay Boackle @ kboackle@realestatelaw-ms.com
Looking forward to it. Always has been a quick go to resource.
I am glad to see this up and going again. Judge Primeaux put a ton of time and effort into making what was arguably the best practitioner’s guide in the state. Seeing Professor Campbell and Dean Bell continuing this legacy is very encouraging. Thanks so much for your efforts!
I am so looking forward to this. Thanks for all the work I know you will be doing.
I have always enjoyed Judge Primeaux’s blog and loved having Professor Campbell as our instructor in Law School. The blog is in good hands!
I am excited to see this return.
