Jen and Lisa return for season two, episode 11 of the Ask Your Law Mom podcast after a long gap (sorry!), sharing fall updates including a pumpkin patch trip, a corn maze, and celebrating their Stetson mock trial team’s national pretrial competition win (with individual awards) as well as a smooth Buffalo Niagara Trial Competition and upcoming November 20 fundraiser at The Cave featuring The Kensingtons. They discuss Lisa's Disney cruise and local football events, then introduce new social media efforts. “Law Dad” Vinnie Doyle explains conflict checks for young lawyers. Guest Elizabeth Braun describes joining the NMDP registry, matching a cancer patient, and her stem cell donation in Houston. The episode includes bar-seating history fact-check, the idiom “give someone the shirt off your back,” novelty-song trivia, and a fragrant product recommendation.

Trivia with Bill includes musical questions and some geography, and this episode’s idiom isn’t “barking up the wrong tree,” followed by more sunscreen product picks and shout-outs.
