About Law and Everything Else
Updated May 13, 2026
Law and Everything Else is a publication of law articles and news on how the law reflects our day-to-day living.
What we cover
We report on, analyze, and offer commentary about American law as it intersects with the lives of ordinary people. That includes Supreme Court and federal appellate decisions; legislation at the state and federal level; the regulatory work of agencies like the FTC, DOJ, SEC, and DOL; the legal industry itself; and the increasingly important intersection of law with artificial intelligence, biotechnology, data privacy, and other emerging technologies. We also cover the more contested corners of legal policy: drug law reform, criminal justice debates, civil liberties under pressure, and the slow-moving constitutional questions that shape what kind of country we live in.
Our sections are organized around the rhythms of legal news as it actually happens:
- News covers the day's substantive legal developments with reporting and analysis.
- Briefs covers the shorter notes worth knowing about but not requiring a full feature.
- Tech and AI covers the rapidly evolving intersection of technology law and policy.
- New and Noteworthy highlights decisions, developments, and people in the legal world that deserve more attention than they're getting.
- Controversy covers the legal debates and disputes that don't have clean answers.
- Opinion is editorial commentary from our staff, clearly labeled as such.
Who runs the publication
Law and Everything Else is edited by The Editors, an independent editorial team with backgrounds in journalism, policy research, and legal commentary. We are not a law firm. We do not provide legal services. We work with freelance writers who are paid for their work and who publish under their real names with real bios.
We are a small operation. We don't have hundreds of bylined reporters. We don't try to compete with Law360 or Bloomberg Law on speed. What we do is take the legal news that matters and explain it with the care and context that helps a careful reader actually understand what happened and why it matters. We aim for three to four substantive pieces per week, supplemented by shorter Briefs.
Editorial independence
We accept no payment from law firms, advocacy groups, or any party with an interest in influencing our coverage. We accept programmatic display advertising through standard ad networks to defray hosting and editorial costs. We do not accept sponsored content, advertorials, or any arrangement in which an advertiser has any influence over editorial decisions. See our Editorial Policy for the full framework.
