The University of Mississippi School of Law is very saddened to announce the passing of Professor Emeritus George C. Cochran. Cochran has been an integral part of the Ole Miss Law family since joining the faculty in 1972. In 2015, the Mississippi Innocence Project was renamed the “George C. Cochran Innocence Project” for his substantial contributions to the organization. Cochran was a legend at Ole Miss Law and will be greatly missed. Arrangements have not been made at this time.
