The Mississippi Bar’s Centennial Book
“A Legacy of Service”

The 100-year history of The Mississippi Bar includes its Annual Meetings, the Code of Ethics, a voice in the legislature, its officers and commissioners, local bar associations, young lawyers, women in the profession, minorities, law schools, and the effects of war on the members of the Bar. The achievements of the Bar include maintaining professional standards and promoting ethical practice, championing causes, improving the judicial system, serving the public and serving the membership.

The Mississippi Bar’s first 100 years are celebrated in this book by bringing the people and events to life and telling the Bar’s story in the words of those who shaped its history. Each President’s words and oratorical style are highlighted throughout the chapters. The 100-year journey of the Bar is told through the many photos, quotes, letters, speeches, proceedings, listings, and publications on each page. The story of The Mississippi Bar is not simply of the organization, but it is a story of Mississippi lawyers who promoted professionalism and who showed their dedication to a just legal system. This book is a tribute to the thousands of lawyers who are members of The Mississippi Bar, daily serving the public and the legal profession in our state.

We hope you will read and enjoy the 310-page commemorative book entitled, The Mississippi Bar’s Centennial – A Legacy of Service.
