Mississippi Courts: Online Community Service

How Community Service Works in Mississippi Courts

Under Mississippi Code § 99-37-3, courts may order community service in lieu of fines or as a condition of probation.

Mississippi has 82 counties, and community service is ordered by its circuit courts, chancery courts, and justice courts. The court that hears your case sets how many hours you need, the deadline and how you prove completion.

• Population: 2.94 million (U.S. Census Bureau, 2023)
• Counties: 82 (Mississippi Judiciary)
• Judicial Districts: 22 (Mississippi Courts)
