Elie Mystal
Elie Mystal is editor of Above the Law.
His first name is pronounced like Eliot without the “it,” and his last name is pronounced like Cristal (the champagne).
Prior to winning the ATL Idol Contest, Elie wrote about politics and popular culture at City Hall News and the New York Press. Elie received a degree in Government from Harvard University and a J.D. from Harvard Law School. He still has a rash from all the poison ivy.
He used to be a litigator at Debevoise & Plimpton but quit the legal profession in lieu of stripping naked and lighting himself on fire.
Elie is a proud and basically competent husband. He is a contributor at True/Slant and enjoys the Mets, dogs, and arguing with strangers.

I am a real estate paralegal who was laid off from a Big Law firm in Los Angeles 6 months ago. I'm 61 years old and the market is bleak for someone my age and especially in the real estate field. I have been following ATL for ages and would love to see a few articles about the plight of laid off paralegals.
Thanks.
Also, Elie is racist.
Elie's last day at Above the Law was October 19, 2009.
Hi Elie, quick question. When is ATL holdling the next mixer in NYC? Thanks!
