The Mississippi legal community is in shock.

A well-respected Judge has passed recently, abruptly and prematurely.

Judge Dan Fairly was a Judge that tried to live up to his name. He tried to be a “fair” Judge.  Many loved and admired him. Some on the opposite end of his rulings did not.

Regardless of your personal feelings it is a tragedy. He will be missed.

Thoughts and prayers for Judge Fairly, his family and those whose life was impacted by him.
