Associate Attorney Erin Lueker recently joined St. Louis Public Radio's STLPR Legal Roundtable, part of the St. Louis on the Air program. The August 27, 2025, episode brought together leading voices in the legal community to analyze Missouri's new Attorney General, Catherine Hanaway, and other pressing legal issues shaping the state.
Insights on Missouri's New Attorney General
During the discussion, Erin offered her perspective on how Attorney General Hanaway may shift the direction of the office. Drawing from her own background as a defense attorney, Erin commented:
"Maybe in this new position, from her experience as a defense attorney, she's going to turn in a different direction."
Her remarks highlighted the possibility of new approaches within an office that has often been viewed as highly politicized.
Broader Legal Issues Discussed
In addition to examining the role of the Attorney General, the panel covered several other timely legal topics. These included charges against St. Louis County Executive Sam Page, accessibility litigation involving local business websites, and the extent of police authority on the campus of Washington University. Erin's contributions helped frame these issues in ways that connected legal analysis with real-world impact.
