Plain-English Summary (for reference only — not a substitute for the rule text above)

This summary is not the rule. The rule text controls.

This rule simply gives the official name for this set of rules. They are called the Mississippi Rules of Evidence, and people can refer to them using the short name "MRE."

There's not much more to it. This is just a naming rule, so it doesn't affect how any case is handled or decided. It just tells you what to call the rules when you're citing them in court papers or legal arguments.

Committee Notes

Advisory Committee Historical Note

Effective July 1, 2016, the Rule was amended as part of the general restyling of the Evidence Rules.

Effective June 16, 2016, the “Comment” was retitled “Advisory Committee Note.”

Advisory Committee Note

The language of Rule 1102 has been amended as part of the general restyling of the Evidence Rules to make them more easily understood and to make style and terminology consistent throughout the rules. As with other recent sets of procedural rules, the suggested citation form omits the use of periods; thus “MRE” replaces “M.R.E.” These changes are intended to be stylistic only. There is no intent to change any result in any ruling on evidence admissibility.

[“Advisory Committee Note” substituted for “Comment,” effective June 16, 2016; amended July 1, 2016, to note restyling.]
