Mississippi courts and clerks’ offices remain open and operational at this time. However, the determination as to whether to hold in court-hearings and trials that will involve less than 50 people is to be made at the discretion of each individual judge beginning on March 15, 2020 and extending through at least May 15, 2020. Trials or hearings that would necessitate gatherings of 50 people or more during the same time period are prohibited via Mississippi Supreme Court Order. No filing deadlines that are set to expire during this period have been extended at this time. All bankruptcy hearings are continuing as previously scheduled, but are being held telephonically in both districts.

Mississippi presently has no state-specific moratoriums in place with regard to default servicing such as foreclosures, evictions, or collections cases. Mississippi law firms must adhere to the foreclosure and eviction moratoriums that have been set by the federal government.
