Chris Geidner

It’s probably an understatement to say the American public became significantly more interested in legal news over the past year. Few are able to translate legalese into common parlance as quickly and accurately as Buzzfeed’s Legal Editor and Supreme Court Correspondent Chris Geidner. Chris, who is an attorney, originally cut his teeth in D.C. as a political editor for the local LGBT news magazine Metro Weekly. As of late, he has become a go-to source for primary documents and information about any and all hot topic legal developments for more than 80,000 twitter followers across the country. This winter Chris obtained, explained, and posted orders related to the federal travel ban faster and more accurately than nearly any other journalist.
