Can a non-resident establish Mississippi residency?
Yes, and many of our non-residents do just that. After the first year of law school, a student can establish residency in this state provided the student has lived in Mississippi for twelve consecutive months (which means you could not leave the state during your first summer to live or work in another state), and obtains a Mississippi driver’s license, car tag and voter’s registration. Non-resident students can obtain a residency form from the law school registrar’s office which must be notarized and turned back into her office for validation once all requirements have been met.
