Talking Sports Law with Stephanie Weissenburger

Stephanie Weissenburger is a recent law school graduate now working at the law firm Geragos & Geragos, and she also plays a key role in the growth and success of Conduct Detrimental, the premier sports law podcast and blog.

Stephanie’s work is always ahead of the curve, whether it’s reporting on the Cleveland Guardians name change or the lawsuit between the city of St. Louis and the NFL. This is a fantastic conversation where I learned a lot from Stephanie about breaking into the business of sports, following your passion, goal setting, and working with people.
