In this episode of extremely, Oren Segal speaks with Mary McCord, Executive Director of the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection (ICAP) and a Visiting Professor of Law at Georgetown University Law Center.
Before her national security work or serving as Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Mary attended journalism school, which she describes as a "pretty good precursor to law school because essentially you become a professional question asker when you are a journalist and that's in many ways what a lawyer is."
Despite describing herself as a glass half empty person, Mary provides examples of people in her life who “do the right thing in the right moment." She also talks to Oren about being part of the legal team representing the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.
