Welcome to In-Studio from Life of the Law. Each month we present an investigative feature report, and two weeks later our team of scholars, journalists, producers and guests will meet up in the studios of KQED in San Francisco to ask questions and get some answers about the law, or at least start to look for some answers.

Do you have questions about the law you'd like us to discuss? Write to us at Life of the Law with your stories and questions about the law, .

This month join our In Studio team for a conversation about the law:

• Brittny Bottorff  Attorney and Chair, LOTL Advisory Board
• Tony Gannon  LOTL Senior Producer
• Nancy Mullane  LOTL Exec Producer and Host
• Osagie Obasogie  Scholar and LOTL Advisory Board Member
• Kirsten Jusewicz Haidle  LOTL Post Production Editor
