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!

Educational and Extremely Interesting!

These four ladies are certain to be among the smartest people in this entire world and listening to their podcasts literally helps me keep my sanity in this complicated and unsettling world! Their extensive knowledge of the legal system amazes me yet they are masters in explaining things in a way so that even those with little knowledge of the law are able to understand the intricacies of how justice is applied in many of today's most high profile cases where the outcomes will most certainly affect the American people as well as the entire world at times. They are also witty and down to earth and every minute of their podcasts is extremely interesting and filled with VIP information about how the legal system works in the cases they discuss along with conversations on some broader topics of the legalities of the justice system as well. I always look forward to listening to every single one of their podcasts!

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!
