Chancellor Joseph Kilgore of Philadelphia was recently elected vice-chair of the Conference of Chancery Judges.
Conference officers were elected on April 27 during the Spring Trial and Appellate Judges Conference in Biloxi. Chancellor Jacqueline Mask of Tupelo was elected chair of the Conference of Chancery Judges and Chancellor John A. Hatcher of Booneville was elected secretary-treasurer.
Judicial conferences meet in April and October for continuing education training, and periodically during other times of the year to discuss legal and judicial issues.
Judge Kilgore has served for almost six years as a chancellor of the Sixth Chancery District, which includes Attala, Carroll, Choctaw, Kemper, Neshoba and Winston counties.
