Description

This November, voters in 30 states and the District of Columbia will be casting ballots for state attorney general. These elected officials work on many issues that impact our everyday lives, and yet, many people do not know exactly what they do or who is running for the office. Valerie Nannery speaks this week with Lisa Madigan, former state Attorney General for Illinois, about what it means to run for and serve as a state attorney general, and how voters can learn more about this important position before voting this fall. ----------------- Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today: ACSLaw.org Today's Host: Valerie Nannery, ACS Senior Director for Network Advancement Guest: Lisa Madigan, Partner at Kirkland & Ellis and Former Illinois Attorney General Link: ACS's State Attorneys General Project Link: ACS's Run.Vote.Work.

Ever feel like the law is stacked against you? It probably is. Broken Law speaks truth to power in discussing how our laws and legal system serve the few at the expense of the many. This is where law meets real life. Hosted by the staff of the American Constitution Society, we reckon with the origins of our legal system, interview people on the frontlines of the progressive legal movement, and chat about necessary legal reforms to restore our democratic legitimacy and improve the lives of all people.
