Show Notes
It’s been a busy and in some instances bizarre few weeks of legal news on both the regional and federal level — from the prospect of legal jeopardy for public defenders to a case involving a St. Louis-area doctor and his child bride. In this episode, host Sarah Fenske convenes our regular Legal Roundtable for a closer look at these stories and other recent developments pertaining to the law. Also on the lineup is the latest news surrounding St. Louis County Police Department Sergeant Keith Wildhaber — who has been tasked with overseeing a new diversity and inclusion unit after winning a $20 million jury verdict for sex discrimination — and a $113 million judgment facing Missouri taxpayers in light of an appellate court ruling about state corrections officers’ backpay. Joining the discussion are William Freivogel, J.D., journalism professor at Southern Illinois University Carbondale; local attorney Nicole Gorovsky, J.D., of Gorovsky Law; and Mark Smith, the associate vice chancellor and dean for career services at Washington University.
