The Mississippi Legal Agent license
Legal Agent
Acts as agent or representative of a sponsor of prepaid legal services plans in Mississippi. It carries the smallest pre-licensing hour count in the state, three hours, and the only one the Department neither approves nor mentions on its own pre-licensing page: the sponsor the applicant will work for teaches the hours and signs the endorsement.

No state exam for this license
Pre-licensing training
-
3 hours of prepaid legal services
and company endorsement
-
A notarized company endorsement page completed by the legal services sponsor.
"Applicant must successfully complete three (3) hours pre-licensing training and education requirement with Legal Services to be qualified to act as an agent or representative of a sponsor of prepaid legal services plans."The Department approves no provider and publishes no syllabus for it, and its own pre-licensing page does not mention the requirement at all: that page names twenty hours per line for five producer lines, twenty for the adjuster and forty for the bail agent, and stops. So this is a live hour count sitting outside the state's own summary of who owes hours. The privilege tax is $10.00 and the renewal $10.00. The term runs 1 March to the last day of February. Legal expense including prepaid legal service is also a product type inside the Casualty line on the Department's line of authority chart, and the person who sells the plan for the sponsor is licensed here instead.

A course is required and nobody sells one
The three hours are given by the prepaid legal services sponsor as a condition of endorsing the applicant, so a school cannot supply them. No national seller prices a Mississippi product for this license either.
