JACKSON
⢠Attorneys representing the U.S. Department of Justice and the state of Mississippi on Monday afternoon announced they are close to agreeing on a solution to improve the services of Mississippiâs beleaguered mental health system.
In a status conference before U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves, attorneys with the Department of Justice and state said they have concurred on most of the substantive issues.
A major sticking point, however, is who should monitor the stateâs progress in ensuring that it complies with whatever plan is hammered out by the attorneys.
âWe have all but dotted our iâs and crossed our tâs on the substantive components of the courtâs remedial order,â said Deena Fox, the lead attorney from the Department of Justice.
