Writ is a legal commentary website on the topic of the law of the United States hosted by FindLaw.
Almost all contributors are law professors; some are former law clerks from the U.S. Supreme Court; some are past or present federal prosecutors; one is a former Counsel to the President; one is a novelist, and one is the current director of the Terrorism and Counterterrorism Program of Human Rights Watch.
Although Writ is known mainly among legal circles, its columnists tend to be prolific authors who reach a broad audience.
Many have published books as well as frequent articles and op-eds in newspapers and magazines such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic Monthly, U.S. News & World Report, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, and Slate.
Writ is available online[1] and, after an extended period of inactivity, actively publishes new articles as of 2022.
