About the Office of General Counsel

The Office of General Counsel is here to help the University of Mississippi, including its academic units and departments, with legal advice and representation. We offer guidance to university administrators and staff as they carry out their duties.

However, it's important to note that we don't provide legal representation for personal matters or disputes between employees/students and the university. If you're part of the university community and need legal help related to university matters, feel free to reach out to us!
