ABOUT
This is a blog for lawyers and judges in Mississippi’s chancery courts.
The content is intended as a resource for the legal community. Lay persons are free to roam its pages, but with the understanding that it does not replace legal advice tailored to your particular circumstances. Also, as a Mississippi trial court judge, I am strictly prohibited from giving legal advice.
Lawyers and judges should use the information here as a mere starting point in your own search for authority on a given point. Views change with time, persuasion, changes in the law, and more recent pronouncements of the appellate courts. So a post from three years ago may by now be quite out of date.
The Better Chancery Practice Blog 
Great Blog
Chancellor Larry Primeaux it has been my pleasure and treasure. Your blog will be greatly missed. Thank you! You helped to make my practice easier and kept me thinking.
I enjoy reading you comments. You have two entries about Judge George Warner. I have retired from the District Court in Maine and knew Judge Warner through our National Judicial College work. I am interested in locating Judge Warner. Can you help?
Judge Warner is at Brookdale Assisted Living Center in Meridian.
Judge: in a divorce/custody action, where a temporary order as to custody is in place due to a plea for separate maintenance, is it error for a chancellor to dismiss the underlying divorce cause of action of both parties and proceed on the custody action for final merits?
Not enough info to comment. As a general proposition, if the underlying divorce action is dismissed, any remaining issues, such as custody, are properly before the court.
But please, don’t ask me to rule on whether another judge is or is not committing error. That’s for the COA and MSSC to decide.
I am a newly licensed attorney and started my own practice after obtaining my license. I just wanted to thank you for making this blog. I have found the information extremely practical, which is a godsend for a new attorney. I look forward to many more posts.
Great to hear. Best wishes in your new practice.

Judge McKenzie used your web site and some of the materials in a CPE course in Laurel today, and recommended to the lawyers that they read your web site daily.
Great to hear that. I hope everyone who drops in finds something useful.
Is there a way to email you without posting on the blog?
Thank you
