273: Sisters Sidebar: Congress, You Up?

In the inaugural episode of Sisters Side Bar, Barb McQuade and Kimberly Atkins Stohr build on the hit #SistersInLaw podcast by interacting with listeners, answering questions, and sharing their experiences. Together, they explore the paths they took in their legal careers, the 1st Amendment right to protest, differences between State and Federal Prosecutions, the limits on members of the public suing Congresspeople, how attorneys get disbarred, and the ethical implications of attorneys attending political events.
