Mississippi Code Title 73. Professions and Vocations § 73-3-373

This article shall not be construed to modify or restrict the inherent right of the courts of record of the State of Mississippi to supervise the bar as an incident to their power to admit attorneys to practice and to the fulfillment of their responsibility for the proper administration of justice, it being here declared that it is an inherent power of the judicial branch of government ultimately to determine the qualifications of those to be admitted to practice in its court, for assisting in its work, and to protect itself and the citizenry of this state in this respect from the unfit, those lacking in sufficient learning and those not possessing good moral character. Any disciplinary proceeding in which the Mississippi Bar is a complaining party shall be conducted in accordance with the remaining sections of this article.
