MS LPC Jurisprudence study plan

Outline the Mississippi licensure statute article-by-article, noting the sections that create the board and define its authority

Identify the board's composition, appointment process, terms, quorum, and rulemaking power from the statute

List the statutory grounds for discipline and the categories of licensure (application, renewal, lapsed, revoked) with the section that governs each

Organize the board's administrative rules into a topical index rather than reading them start to finish

Flag every place where the statute delegates a detail to board rule so you can tell the two sources apart later

Read the adopted code of ethics in full and restate each standard in your own words in one sentence or less

Build a comparison table that maps each ethical standard to the specific behavior it prohibits or requires

Differentiate standards that create an absolute prohibition from those that require a judgment call

Write ten short ethics vignettes and resolve each by naming the standard that controls

Identify which code provisions overlap with the statutes and rules from week 1

Apply board rules and the ethics code to ten fact patterns and justify each answer by source

Distinguish violations that trigger board discipline from conduct that is unethical but not actionable

Rehearse statute-versus-rule-versus-code sourcing until you pick the right authority the first time

Complete a 40-question mixed practice set and log every miss by domain and by source document

Separate confidentiality duties from evidentiary privilege and state who holds each

Enumerate every statutory exception to confidentiality and privilege and the conditions attached to each

Define the scope of practice boundaries and list the titles and abbreviations protected by statute

Identify the penalties for unlicensed practice and for misrepresenting credentials

Classify ten disclosure scenarios as permitted, required, or prohibited

Draft the elements of valid informed consent and identify who may consent when the client cannot

Enumerate client rights that must be disclosed at intake and the documentation each requires

List boundary crossings versus boundary violations and describe the required response to each

Summarize supervisor qualifications, supervision ratios, and required documentation of supervised hours

Contrast supervisor and supervisee responsibilities in ten supervision vignettes

Trace the consequences of inadequate supervision for supervisor, supervisee, and client

Distinguish mandatory reporting duties by victim type and by the statute that imposes each

Analyze the duty to protect triggers, the permitted responses, and the documentation required

Sequence the correct actions in time order for five crisis scenarios involving danger to self or others

Specify record content, retention periods, amendment rights, and release requirements under the rules

Map the complaint life cycle from filing through investigation, hearing, and appeal

Distinguish the sanctions available to the board and the standards for each

Identify due-process elements a licensee can invoke during an investigation

Take two full-length timed practice exams under test-day conditions and record domain-level scores

Re-teach your three weakest domains from your own notes without looking at source material

Rewrite every missed item as a rule statement you can recall cold on exam day

Review the statutory and rule map, the confidentiality tree, and the discipline flowchart in a single consolidated pass
