Next Episode: EP 12: Sexual Assault on College Campuses

In this episode, the Law Sisters talk about sexual harassment in the legal profession with our first ever special guest, Faith Herndon! We follow up on the conversation we had the last episode about the Congressional Office of Compliance, who counters sexual harassment complaints with under the table payouts. We can’t avoid talking about the President’s tweeting faux pas of the week, involving Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a congressional advocate against forced arbitration of sexual harassment cases.

Leto and Valerie discuss the difficulties lawyers and employees at law firms face when it comes to sexual harassment-- the exact same challenges that women in other jobs face! We welcome Faith, a fellow lawyer in Durham, NC, to discuss her opinion of the #MeToo movement and share personal experiences with workplace sexual harassment.

This week, the Case in the News brings up a case from 1991 and includes an apology from Joe Biden that is well overdue. And our Bad Boss of the Week is a Ninth Circuit Judge who found himself on the wrong side of the bench!
