Mississippi Supreme Court Gets New Justice | Jackson News

Mississippi’s Supreme Court just got a major new voice: Amanda Jones Tollison, appointed by Governor Tate Reeves, officially steps onto the bench September 1st—filling the vacancy left by Justice James Maxwell’s move to the federal bench. With a powerhouse legal resume as a partner at Butler Snow and former counsel to Gov. Haley Barbour, Tollison brings deep experience in white-collar defense and product liability. She’s also a leader in Mississippi’s legal community, having served as president of The Mississippi Bar and spearheading free legal aid during Hurricane Katrina. This marks her as the fourth new justice in just a few years—and comes hot on the heels of Reeves’ recent appointment of Celeste Embrey Wilson.
