Jenner & Block Hosts Bipartisan Group of Congressional Leaders at When Congress Comes Calling Book Launch
Event
December 11, 2025
Jenner & Block's nationally ranked, bipartisan Congressional Investigations Practice hosted a launch event at the Capitol on December 11 for the 2025 edition of When Congress Comes Calling—the gold-standard handbook for the congressional oversight community. The event was attended by more than 100 members of the oversight community, as well as Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA), Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH), Chairman of the House Committee on the Judiciary, Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Ranking Member of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, and Representatives Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA).

Congressional Investigations Practice leaders Emily Loeb, Ashley Callen, Matt Klapper, and Jon Skladany highlighted updates to the handbook, while lawmakers emphasized the critical role that experienced, bipartisan counsel and institutional knowledge play in effective congressional oversight.
Chairman Jordan (R-OH) said, “You can’t get to the bottom of any of these investigations unless you have staff who are willing to do the work… we got staff who are now on the other side [of the table], the counsel who make the process work, the folks at Jenner & Block and all of you, all of these good folks…when you bring in the witnesses, you can’t really make the whole process function unless those witnesses have good counsel like we have here…Thank you for the difference you make for the country, for the Constitution, for the Bill of Rights, for the liberties we enjoy as Americans who live in the greatest country ever, thank you for what you do.”
Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Ranking Member of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology said, “Actually, a majority of the House has served here for less than five years and a lot of members don’t even know what regular order is, so the work that you're doing…is very important…Because when the House works in its regular order, the work of the people gets done more effectively.”
