Synopsis

Mississippi and Arkansas filed a dispute before the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction, and the Court granted Mississippi's motion to file a complaint while appointing a Special Master to oversee proceedings, gather evidence, and direct the case toward resolution. The Court established the procedural framework for the Special Master's authority and determined that the parties would bear the costs of the proceedings in proportions to be determined later by the Court.
