337: Pro Bono Pros
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from #SistersInLawβs own podcast host.
Barb McQuaid and Jill Wine-Banks answer listener questions on everything from ICE accountability to vacated convictions, and more. They discuss why courts cannot independently prosecute federal agents who overstep the law, immunity barriers in civil suits, where to find pro bono immigration help, how probate works when there is no will, the green card process in marriages, the legal line between credentialed election monitors and intimidation, and how vacating a conviction differs from a pardon or expungement in clearing the public record without automatically restoring all rights.
