The Mississippi Bar shall serve the public good by promoting excellence in the profession and in our system of justice.

The chapter was originally formed in 1964. Today, the Mississippi Chapter has more than 175 members from private practice, government agencies, military branches, local law schools and local courts. The chapter is committed to serving the needs of the federal practitioner in Mississippi.

The mission of the Hinds County Bar Association is to serve the lawyers, judges and public in our membership area by organizing, promoting and administering programs and member benefits in order to increase professional competence and responsibility, foster collegiality among our members, improve the public's understanding and appreciation of our judicial system, and advance the administration of justice.
