I am pleased to report that Mississippi is getting its own jury verdict reporter with the debut of the Mississippi Jury Verdict Reporter. Here is the website for the reporter and here is a preview of the debut issue. The publisher is Jury Verdicts Publications from Louisville, KY.

I believe that MJVR will be an excellent source of jury verdict information in Mississippi. I have talked with the publisher and they intend to report on all major state and federal court verdicts in Mississippi. Unlike my blog, they will not rely on word of mouth and will check with court clerks across the state for verdict information.

Verdicts in Mississippi are under reported. This is particularly true for defense verdicts. I report what I hear about, but that leaves a lot of unreported verdicts. MJVR has the potential to fill a big information gap.

The price for a yearly subscription is $219.00, but there is an introductory offer of $199.00.
