EDITORIAL/Kenny Griffis for justice

Supreme Court Justice Kenny Griffis brought with him to the state’s high court 16 years of experience on the Mississippi Court of Appeals where he served as Chief Judge.

Not just a lawyer, but also a Certified Public Accountant, Griffis has unique experience and education for the Court. 

He has a commitment to ensuring Mississippi judges are trained and professional on every level and has served on judicial committees to promote a better judiciary. 

He serves as adjunct professor at the Mississippi College School of Law and the University of Mississippi School of Law.

With nearly two decades of decisions as a judge, he has proven time and again he is a conservative who follows the rule of law and has again been endorsed by the Mississippi Republican Party. 

Those who know Griffis also know he is an approachable, personable man.

He and his wife are the parents of five boys and Griffis has served as a youth Sunday School teacher, a Cub Scout leader, and a coach for over 80 youth sports teams, including baseball, basketball, soccer, and hockey.

Whether you call him Coach Griffis or Judge Griffis, he has a record of respect in the community.
