For the last two years, the Southaven Mississippi Municipal Court has had a volunteer Memphis law student as a summer intern. Because of the positive experiences in the past two years, the Court would like to have another summer volunteer clerk for this year.<\/p>\n
Judge David Delgado, along with Judge Jody Neyman, are part-time judges who have their own law practices. Court is held 3 days a week, and the law clerk will spend a majority of the time in the office without a judge present.<\/p>\n
As for work that will be completed, there is little (if any) writing that is done by a traditional law clerk. The student is expected to be involved with the following:<\/p>\n
-Researching legal issues – especially researching pending “debtor prison” cases.
\n-Assisting in reviewing the template court orders that are used in Municipal Court.
\n-Researching the newly adopted Mississippi Rules of Criminal Procedure.
\n-Assist in new collection procedures, which will include filing court judgments in the county judgment rolls.<\/p>\n
The Court would be interested in having a 1L or 2L. Applicants need to submit a resume, transcript, and writing sample.
\nAll applications should be emailed to Thomas Mastin at tmastin@southaven.org; deadline for applicants will be April 15, 2017.<\/p>\n
