Jargon

This list is an extension of the Report’s on-going efforts to provide the necessary information to understand the incidents and arrests that commonly appear in our posts. Some of the definitions below are explanations of the code, statute or section mentioned, while others are just the raw texts. Either way, we hope both to expand our list everyday until it is complete and that it serves as some help.

Sources for the list include the CJS (Corpus Juris Secundum), Mississippi Code of 1972, and the Oxford Municipal Code.
