Rule 36 Rehearing of Referee’s Order

If a referee (a court official who hears youth court cases instead of a judge) makes a decision, you may have the right to ask a judge to look at that decision again. This is called a rehearing.

The steps for asking for a rehearing are not spelled out in this rule. Instead, you need to follow the process laid out in Mississippi state law, specifically section 43-21-111(5) of the Mississippi Code. That law explains things like how to request a rehearing and what happens next.

If you disagree with a referee's order and want a judge to review it, you or your attorney should look up that specific state law section to understand the exact steps and deadlines involved.
