Controversies
In 2011, Above the Law was sued for $50 million for an erroneous story about a rape to which one of its articles linked. The suit was ultimately settled out of court.[11][12]
In 2016, Above the Law received criticism from many publications when its Breaking Media Editor at Large, Elie Mystal, wrote an article[13] suggesting that jury nullification of crimes by blacks against whites could be used by jurors as a form of protest.[14][15][16][17]
