Meet ATL's New Ami

By  
on

Every high-profile law firm seems to be getting involved with the incredibly partisan fight for or against EPA’s new climate regulations; Dutch women work significantly less than their American counterparts, have a big pay gap, but are still happier; and a Google maps camera crew busted a drug deal in Brooklyn last week. Why am I giving you these seemingly unrelated news bits? Because starting next week, I’m going to be writing for ATL about gender issues, green causes, and social media — and where they intersect with law and the legal profession.

Hopefully I’ll be able to expand upon ATL’s tradition of reporting, first to satisfy my inner journalist (I’m a Columbia Journalism School graduate and I worked as a reporter for a newspaper in India for over three years), and second because… well, who doesn’t like forcing comments out of Biglaw firms?

More about me, including a picture, after the jump.

I’m currently an editor at AltTransport, so I’ve been breathing environmental stories for the past several months or so at the Breaking Media offices, and prior to that at the green vertical at the Huffington Post.

I also thought I’d take a crack at gender issues, since Elie and David both have Y chromosomes.

While I’ve never been to law school, I did work at a legal publishing house, Nolo Press, in Berkeley — so I have some familiarity with the lawyerly audience.

I realize I’m setting myself up for much ATL commentator hate with my chosen subjects, so be nice PLEASE!

If you have any news tips or story suggestions, feel free to send them to tips@abovethelaw.com.

P.S: My name is pronounced exactly like the French word for “friend,” and yes, I realize a female friend is spelled with an additional ‘e’ in French — it just didn’t work as well for the pun in the headline.
