AI Summary
This bill amends Mississippi Code Section 25-31-5 to restore the number of full-time legal assistants authorized for the Fourteenth Circuit Court District. Specifically, it removes a provision that would have reduced the number of legal assistants in that district from six to five effective January 1, 2026, thereby maintaining the current authorization of six legal assistants. Legal assistants are professionals who assist attorneys in legal research, drafting documents, and other tasks, and this bill ensures that the Fourteenth Circuit Court District retains its previously allocated support staff.
