T he Chicago Bar Association recently launched their new show called @theBar.

Primarily hosted by CBA Young Law- yers Section Chair Jonathan Amarilio, this monthly production features a rotating assortment of co-hosts to keep the view- points constantly changing with often unexpected responses to guest interjec- tions.

Every episode ends with Stranger Than Legal Fiction, a segment about strange laws in the United States; each person on the podcast has to guess which of two strange laws actually exists. “Tune in and join the conversation. This is going to be fun”, says host Jonathan Amarilio. “The CBA–in partnership with LTN–continues to show why its a thought leader in the legal community and why the CBA brand remains so strong during a time of turbulent change in the legal profession.” The inaugural three episodes feature an esteemed lineup of guests.
