I follow this podcast every week. I'm trying to find the "Show Notes" to look for some of the products they talk about but haven't succeeded yet. LOVE Sisters In Law!!

Want to be a sister!

I always enjoy the Sisters pulling every thread possible on every topic. Very relatable on whose husband cooks and doesn’t cook. :) Great analogies from Watergate to the current Trump sedition but I think Trump wins on people can die and he doesn’t care. Thanks for digging down deep on Merrick Garland. If he listened carefully, he could hear me screaming at him to get off his duff. Appreciate the update from your perspective on Tish James and Fanni Willis. Great show!

That Was The Week That Was…

Love the analysis in this podcast, and listen every week... this week, Jill's comments about her being referenced in a book, led me to look at her photos circa 1974... notwithstanding her brilliant legal mind and analysis, she WAS pretty fly back then... but the more things change the more they stay the same! Thank you #SistersInLaw!

Loved this episode...

All these women bring a wealth of knowledge and experience. They aren’t just smart, they are courageous. I admire each one and together they are a force to be reckoned with. This podcast is just a great opportunity to hear more from them.

What a great podcast for law issues of the day, often politics, but other social justice topics as well. With knowledge, humor and lively engagement, Jill Wine-Banks, Barbara McQuade, Kimberly Atkins Stohr and Joyce Vance analyze, educate and inform in a way that keeps a listener's interest. I've made it an automatic part of my Saturday routine.

Sisters Any Family Can Love!

This is a great podcast if you like to listen to really smart women discuss the law's impact on the happenings in the world. Although the focus is on current events, what makes it extraordinary is the fascinating experiences and life stories each brings to the discussion. I'm inspired, entertained and I learn something new with every episode. Go Sisters!

All the sisters are great to listen to, and it’s about time we had this type of perspective!. Very enjoyable participation by all of them, love the balanced viewpoints, and wishing Jill the best of fun with new film possibilities. A special commemorative pin should be designed if the film goes through! I want one!

Such a relief and so much fun!

When I take my dog outside for the first time on Saturdays, I sing him a little tune; "It's Sisters Day."

I follow news and politics closely. Listening to your views and legal opinions gives me more information to draw upon.

My daughter is a baby lawyer in Illinois. (Public Defender) My hope for her is that she ends up a combination of the four you. Can you imagine? A Super Lawyer!

I look forward to Saturday morning!

These women are amazing! Intelligent and knowledgeable, they cover the most important legal issues of the moment in layman's terms; and they do it as though we're all sitting at the kitchen table by expressing humor as well.

Love it!
