David Lat is the founder and managing editor of Above the Law, which routinely writes some of the most entertaining, offbeat, risqué, and best-read articles about the practice of law. David took blue-chip credentials (Harvard, Yale Law School, clerking for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz), and turned his well-trained eye to law-related topics of very broad interest, but about which nobody was writing. The results, first at his blog Underneath Their Robes (a gossip blog about federal judges) and then at Above The Law, have been offbeat, well-read, controversial, and entertaining — a more human look at the practice of law seldom seen in legal writing.
