Miss. L. Cir. Ct. R. 9
As amended through October 31, 2024
Parties to civil actions are encouraged by the Court to attempt settlement of each case on the docket. If the Court finds that a case has been set for trial and one of the parties has failed to make a diligent effort to settle the case until the date of trial and then attempts serious settlement negotiations, which, had they been taken earlier, would have resulted in the settlement of the case prior to the trial day, the Court may, in its discretion, assess the actual cost to the county of the jury in attendance on that date to any party the Court finds did not engage in prior diligent efforts to settle the case.
