Legal Speak Podcast
In this week's episode, Gina Passarella, Editor-in-Chief of ALM's Global Legal Brands and The American Lawyer, interviews author, political commentator and self-described "recovering" Big Law attorney Sophia Nelson.
The discussion takes place about a half hour after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and Nelson gives her thoughts on the implications of that decision, as well as the court's other recent controversial ruling on gun control, which led to a high-profile split between Kirkland & Ellis and noted appellate lawyer Paul Clement.
