Constitutional Challenge

I am in the middle of a case where my office is working on a constitutional challenge to Mississippi's same-sex marriage ban.  There are several Mississippi statutes in family law and personal injury that are ripe for constitutional challenges.  One thing to look at is Rule 24 of the Mississippi Rules of Civil Procedure.  It requires that the Mississippi Attorney General be notified in the event of a constitutional challenge to give them the opportunity to intervene.  As such, they really become a necessary party almost before moving forward.
