Above the Law (website)

Above the Law (often abbreviated ATL) is a news website about law, law schools, and the legal profession.[1] Established in 2006, the site is owned and published by Breaking Media.[2]

The site has been sourced by GQ, The American Lawyer, Forbes, Washingtonian, and Gawker, among others.[3][4][5][6][7] In 2008, it was listed as one of the ABA Journal's "100 Best Web Sites by Lawyers, for Lawyers".[8]

In 2011 Above the Law was sued for $50 million for an erroneous story about a rape to which one of its articles linked; the lawsuit was ultimately settled out of court.[9][10] The site began publishing an annual law school ranking in 2013.[11]

As of 2016, David Lat; Elie Mystal, Staci Zaretsky, Joe Patrice and Kathryn Rubino make up the publication's editorial staff, joined by a number of columnists from across the legal landscape.[2]
