Above the Law calls itself a legal tabloid. Its focus is legal gossip.

Author: Elie Ying Mystal was named editor in August 2008 after winning a "reality blogging" competition. David Lat, the blog's founder, is now managing editor for ATL's parent company, Breaking Media, but he continues to contribute posts to both ATL and Underneath Their Robes.
