Mississippi Code of 1972 (Annotated) — section lookup by citation, chapter browsing by title, and topic/keyword search over official catchlines. Keyless.

Tools

("97-3-19", "Miss. Code Ann. § 89-8-19", "Section 97-3-19"). Returns the catchline, the operative statutory text, the HISTORY: line, and Joint Legislative Committee / Amendment / Cross-Reference notes when present. Case-law (JUDICIAL DECISIONS) annotations are deliberately excluded — they can run to hundreds of citations per section and are not what a caller asking "what does this statute say" wants back.

• mscodesection(citation) — the text of a section by citation

title (97 is Crimes, 89 is Real and Personal Property), for browsing when you don't have an exact citation.

• mscodechapters(title) — every chapter heading and number within a

section's official CATCHLINE (not full statutory body text — see "Why no full-text search" below). Matches like North Dakota's nd_search: IDF- weighted word overlap over a baked index, not a live upstream call.

• mscodesearch(query, limit?) — topic/keyword search over every

Why no full-text search

The official LexisNexis-hosted Code (lexisnexis.com/hottopics/mscode, linked from the Secretary of State's own site) sits behind a Cloudflare managed challenge — confirmed live: every direct request gets a "Just a moment..." interstitial page, HTTP 403, no statute text. The two common free third-party renderings, law.justia.com and codes.findlaw.com, sit behind the exact same Cloudflare challenge (confirmed live, identical "Just a moment..." body) — this is not a Lexis-specific wall, it's a Cloudflare bot-check in front of three different vendors' copies of the same text, so there is no "try a different mirror of the search UI" move here.

Data source

Mississippi Code, built by UniCourt on behalf of Public.Resource.Org from the Code's own officially-released RTF volumes (archive.org/download/gov.ms.code.ann.2018), "in the public domain, NO RIGHTS RESERVED" per that repo's own README. One title per HTML page (gov.ms.code.title.{NN}.html, title zero-padded to 2 digits — Mississippi titles are odd numbers 1-99), fetched LIVE per mscodesection / mscodechapters call — this pack proxies it, it does not ship a copy of the Code in the repo (mirror-needs-grant-proxy-does-not in the Pipeworx CLAUDE.md licence section).

The underlying statutory TEXT is public law regardless of what any publisher's licence says about its own rendering — enacted law carries no copyright (Banks v. Manchester, 128 U.S. 244 (1888); Veeck v. SBCCI, 293 F.3d 791 (5th Cir. 2002) (en banc)).

THE HONEST LIMIT. This source is Release 78, released 2020-07-08, generated from the Code's 2018 printed RTF volumes. It is a static snapshot, not a continuously updated feed — amendments enacted in the 2021 through 2026 Regular Sessions are not reflected. Every response carries currentthrough and dataas_of: "2020-07-08" rather than defaulting to "now", which would misrepresent six-year-old text as current law. For anything enacted after mid-2020, verify against the official LexisNexis- hosted Code or contact the Joint Legislative Committee on Compilation, Revision and Publication of Legislation (Miss. Code Ann. §§ 1-1-101 to 1-1-111).
