Clint and Merry want to grow the Learned Hands Podcast and make our episodes more engaging and interactive … but neither one of us wants your money. Instead, in exchange for making donations to approved organizations who fight against injustice in the legal system, we want to give you membership in the Westerosi Bar Association!
After you sign up at any level, your Bar Number is yours forever. All other benefits (see, e.g., slack membership and episode voting rights) renew annually, just like in a real life Bar Association in the United States. So, if you sign up in July of 2020, your membership will be good through 2021.
