Forest Thigpen, president of the Mississippi Center for Public Policy, announced last week the creation of
the Mississippi Justice Institute as the Centers legal arm to represent Mississippians whose state or
federal Constitutional rights have been threatened by government actions. Former Assistant U.S.
Attorney Mike Hurst serves as the Centers General Counsel and as Director of the Mississippi Justice
Institute.
Thigpen said, This is the type of case we will focus on: ones where the people are being limited by a
government agency from pursuing a genuine, legitimate dream or where they are being kept from acting within a
legitimate Constitutional right. We believe government should be limited, not limiting.
The Mississippi Center for Public Policy is an independent, non-profit organization based in Jackson. It works to
advance the ideals of free markets, limited government, and strong traditional families. Its work is supported by
voluntary, tax-deductible contributions. It receives no funds from government agencies for its operations. To learn
