Columbus attorney John Brady has announced he will run for a spot on the Mississippi Supreme Court.
Brady has officially filed with the Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office to run for the District 3, Place 1, seat on the state’s high court, replacing Ann Lamar who is retiring.
The election is in November.
Davis, who is a shareholder in the North Mississippi law firm of Mitchell, McNutt and Sams, has practiced law 22 years, primarily in the area of business law.
“The Mississippi Supreme Court is the ultimate arbiter of litigated matters in Mississippi,” Brady said in a press release announcing his candidacy. “I want to make sure that all parties get a fair and expeditious trial and review by correctly interpreting the Mississippi Constitution and the laws enacted by legislative authority, without infringing upon the legislature’s role as lawmakers.”
Brady attended Mississippi College School of Law, receiving his Juris Doctorate in 1994. He received his undergraduate degree in political science from Mississippi State University.
Brady and his wife, Jennifer, have two daughters, Rachel (15) and Hannah (13).
