301: CSI: Seashells Division

In this episode of #SistersInLaw Sidebar, Joyce Vance and Barb McQuade answer your questions on everything from the powers of the judicial branch to pursuing a case in small claims court, and more. They discuss whether the indictment of James Comey is a case of selective prosecution, what happens when a district is reconfigured by gerrymandering, how the assets of estates are allocated without a will, whether the judicial or legislative branch makes the ultimate determination on our laws, pursuing a case in small claims court, and the difference between a copyright and a trademark.
