Contact The Magnolia Docket

The Magnolia Docket can be reached by email at [email protected]. The editorial mailbox is newly established, and delivery is still being confirmed. If a message is returned as undeliverable, please try again later.

What is useful to send

• A correction, with the page address and the sentence that needs review.
• A public source, such as a statute, a rule of court or an official publication, that supports or contradicts a point in a guide.
• A question about how a civil case works in Mississippi, or a suggestion for a topic the magazine has not covered.

What the editors cannot do

The Magnolia Docket does not give legal advice, does not review a reader's case and does not take on clients. A message describing a live dispute cannot be answered with advice on what to do, and sending one does not create any professional relationship. Anyone facing a filing deadline should contact a licensed Mississippi lawyer directly.

How a message is handled

Each message is read by the editorial team and checked against the sources named in the guide concerned. No reply time is promised. Where a correction is accepted, the guide is amended and the change is noted on the page. Where a point is disputed, the team looks for the primary source before deciding.

Press and research enquiries

Journalists and researchers looking for a plain-language explanation of a Mississippi procedural rule are welcome to write. The team can point to the statute or rule behind a guide, but it cannot provide interviews about specific cases, comment on pending litigation or supply legal analysis for publication.
