    185: Live In Boston: Verdict Day
    Jun 1 2024
    Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw live in Boston to review the charges in Manhattan that resulted in 34 guilty verdicts against Trump, untangle the five crimes jurors could use to justify their vote, and explain the appeals and sentencing process. Then, the #Sisters expose the flaws in SCOTUS oversight and ethics by laying out the breaches of Justices Alito, Thomas, and their wives, exploring the potential of putting the court on the ballot, term limits, and congressional oversight to restore faith in the institution. They also discuss Judge Cannon’s denial of Jack Smith’s gag order and her delaying actions in the MAL case before taking questions on everything from election certification to women’s rights after Dobbs.

    May 25 2024

Then, the #Sisters lay out the end game in Trump’s Manhattan trial, review the guidelines for executing a search warrant, untangle Judge Cannon’s latest delays, and consider Fani Willis’ appeal of dismissed charges in the Fulton County case.

Fan girl here!

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.

That Was The Week That Was…

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!

Loved this episode...

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!

Listen and Learn

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!

Such a relief and so much fun!

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!

I look forward to Saturday morning!

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!

Love it!

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.

More legal explanation please

Love listening to you guys but would appreciate more details beyond the tv analysis. For example, when someone incites a riot and someone dies why couldn’t Trump or Guiliani be charged with a manslaughter or other similar charges? Just like someone who commits a burglary and another person who is part of it kills someone can be tried as though they pulled the trigger too. Things like this. Thanks keep up the great work.

My Favorite journalist & lawyers

I was so impressed with this podcast. I will continue to listen because I love all of you. Thank you for the the information and all of the new things I’ve learned as a 71 years old. I love your pins Jill. I’d like to see Trump try and go in front of you. You all would chop him down and drop kick him out of sight.😌🍷Cheers
