Question 1

Why should I care about this race?

Accepted Answer

Chancery Court judges decide some of the most personal matters that come before any court — divorces, child custody, adoptions, guardianships, wills and estates, and disputes over land. The person on that bench will shape the lives of families across Holmes, Leake, Madison, and Yazoo Counties for years to come. Who you elect matters.

Question 2

What does Chancery Court do?

Accepted Answer

In Mississippi, Chancery Court is the court of equity. It handles family-law matters (divorce, custody, child support, adoption, guardianship, and conservatorship), wills and estates, land title disputes and boundary cases, and other equitable matters such as injunctions. It is one of the most consequential trial courts in the state for everyday Mississippians.
