Bio
In July 2004, Ronnie Musgrove, Governor of the state of Mississippi from 2000 - 2004, joined Copeland, Cook, Taylor and Bush. P.A., where he is Of Counsel. He brought with him years of experience not only in state government but in the practice of law, as well.
From his insight as chairman of Southern Growth Policy Board and the Southern Region Education Board, Governor Musgrove recognized the importance of building economic capacity through an educated workforce. Always a strong proponent of public education, Governor Musgrove focused his attention while in office on building a solid foundation for economic growth through Mississippi’s public schools. Through his tireless efforts, Mississippi created a comprehensive approach to economic development which resulted in the location of a Nissan production facility in Canton, MS that brought with it a capital investment of $1.4 billion and 5,300 jobs.
Before taking office as governor, Musgrove was a practicing attorney with the firm Smith, Musgrove & McCord of Batesville, Mississippi. Providing business defense and limited plaintiff representation, Musgrove represented a diverse client base including a local bank, local school district and area hospital. He received the Outstanding Service Award from the Mississippi Bar Association in 1985 and served on the Board of Bar Commissioners, the governing board of the Mississippi Bar Association, during the early 1990s.
Governor Musgrove is active in volunteerism working with both Habitat for Humanity and Stewpot Community Services. He and his wife, Melody, are active members of First Baptist Church of Jackson. They have four children and reside in Madison, MS.
