About the show
Based on the book Dismantling Family Court Corruption, Maryellen Mitchell's Slam the Gavel is one of the longest-running reform podcasts in the country. Episodes frequently feature Massachusetts parents (including the widely shared “Stolen Child In Massachusetts; With Nicole DeGregorio”) and treat family court as a systemic problem, not a series of unlucky individual cases. Expect interviews with protective parents, whistleblowers, and reform-minded attorneys.
