Charles Merkel III Named as a Fellow of the Mississippi Bar
The team at Merkel & Cocke, P.A. is thrilled to announce that Charles Merkel III has been named a fellow of the Mississippi Bar. Being selected as a Fellow is one of the highest honors a member of the Mississippi Bar can receive. Congratulations on your selection, Charles!
Per the Mississippi Bar:
The Fellows designation is the Foundation’s highest honor. Only 10% of the lawyers in Mississippi are eligible for membership as a fellow. Their selection is recognition by their peers that the attorney has achieved the highest level of professionalism, competence, and leadership. Fellows are selected for membership based not only on their excellence as a lawyer but also by their dedication and service to the public and profession.
Since its organization in 1963, the Mississippi Bar Foundation has come to represent the highest level of professionalism and competence for a Mississippi lawyer. A Mississippi lawyer receives a Foundation membership invitation only once.
