The Mississippi Youth Legislature is a model legislative and judicial<br />
program for high school students. Students from Mississippi public and<br />
private schools come together at our State Capitol and participate in a<br />
mock legislative session. Student participate as a legislator, attorney,<br />
supreme court justice, lobbyist, press delegate, or legislative page. Each<br />
legislator writes a piece of legislation that they debate through the<br />
legislature in hopes of having it signed into “law”. Each piece of proposed<br />
legislation, or bill, goes through the full legislative process. During each<br />
session, a full cabinet of officers (students) is elected to serve over the<br />
next year’s Youth Legislature.<br />
