Mississippi Code of Conduct for Professional Land Surveyors
This online engineering PDH course examines the professional conduct, moral parameters, and administrative rules that direct licensed land surveyors in Mississippi.
This course examines the regulatory authority of the State Board, distinguishing its disciplinary oversight from civil matters like boundary line disputes and financial restitution. It interprets the specific professional obligations of the Code of Conduct (Rule 6.3) concerning public protection, client confidentiality, conflict disclosures, and qualifications-based selection.
Furthermore, this course explores official standards for the secure custody of professional seals, rules for comity licensure, and requirements for limited licensing when delivering expert technical testimony in judicial proceedings. By reviewing actual board disciplinary cases, this course demonstrates how violations of ethics and practice standards lead to formal board hearings and licensing sanctions.
