Season 2, Episode 41 - Kate Melloy Goettel, JD

Dan Sterenchuk and Tommy Estlund are honored to have as our guest, Kate Melloy Goettel, JD. Kate is a senior litigation attorney at the National Immigrant Justice Center, and is wife to Bryan, and mother to Adelaide (5) and Rowan (3). She resides in the Chicago suburbs where she enjoys playing a smattering of musical instruments (none very well), ruminating on the Supreme Court (nerd alert!), playing competitive UNO with her husband and kids, half listening to her husband go on and on about his love of the Cubs (sorry, hon!), and much more attentively listening to NPR.

Kate grew up in Iowa and went to college there before being drawn to the balmy climate of the Federated States of Micronesia, where she was a Peace Corps Volunteer. After her stint in Micronesia, she went to law school at the University of Iowa. Before joining the National Immigrant Justice Center in 2017, Kate spent almost eight years at the Department of Justice’s Office of Immigration Litigation, where she practiced in nearly 40 federal district courts, seven courts of appeal, and the U.S. Supreme Court.
