If you “blow the whistle” what could happen? We’ll learn about false claims against the government and whistleblowing laws with guest attorney Rick Davis from Shelton Davis LLC. 

Today’s Legal Terms on In Legal Terms are: Qui Tam, Whistleblower, Relator

Our legislators are thinking about whistleblowing laws for Mississippi. Last year House Bill 1066 of 2024 was introduced to create the MISSISSIPPI WHISTLEBLOWER REWARD ACT to reward those who report improper use of government funds. But the bill wasn’t passed.
