Upon finishing their first year in law school with satisfactory grades, students will receive their bachelor’s degree.

WATCH: Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni dons AJ Brown’s high school jersey in Super Bowl presser
SUMMARY: One day after the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, head coach Nick Sirianni expressed his support for star wide receiver A.J. Brown by wearing a Starkville High School jersey during a media appearance. The jersey, bearing the number 15, highlighted Brown’s roots, acknowledging his impressive season with 1,242 receiving yards and nine touchdowns, including a crucial score in the Super Bowl. Sirianni’s choice of attire came after Brown’s earlier comments about the Eagles’ passing game and a notable incident during a playoff game. Brown was drafted in 2019 and has excelled since joining the Eagles.

Mississippi Senate passes bill to implement no-excuse early voting
SUMMARY: Mississippi’s Senate has approved the “In-Person Early Voting Act,” which would allow registered voters to cast ballots up to 15 days before an election without needing an excuse. This would replace the current 45-day absentee voting period. Supporters argue it provides convenience for voters, especially those with scheduling difficulties. However, the bill faces opposition, with concerns about litigation and resistance from many circuit clerks. Despite this, the bill passed with bipartisan support and will now move to the House. Governor Tate Reeves, however, has expressed opposition to no-excuse early voting, which is already in place in 47 states.
