Happy Birthday to ATL -- and Happy Labor Day to All!
It's the Friday afternoon before Labor Day, and we're ready to pack it in. We might put up another post or two -- e.g., Legal Eagle Wedding Watch -- but basically we are done for the day. (Our colleagues over at DealBreaker checked out hours ago.)
Before we sign off, we'd like to point out that yesterday was Above the Law's first anniversary -- or blogiversary, as some say. ATL launched one year ago, on August 30, 2006.
During the span of a year, ATL has grown in leaps and bounds. Traffic has been tremendous, far outstripping expectations. Even though ATL is in its infancy, it's already one of the most widely read legal blogs. The site has become quite well-known, garnering a number of media mentions.
We thank you, our readers, for making this success possible. Thanks for faithfully visiting ATL (and refreshing your browsers so frequently), for spreading the word about this website, and for sending us great tips and information.
Happy Labor Day! Enjoy the long weekend. You deserve it!
P.S. Are you on Facebook? If so, please join the ATL Facebook group. Yay!

Happy birthday ATL! Thanks very much for adding both transparency and laughter to the legal field.
(And to 2:58 -- I'm right there with you. Am pretty sure that my hits & refreshes have contributed mightily to ATL's rise . . . .)

This site has truly revolutionized access to firms' info.

From CNN:
"Legal blog Above The Law announces plan to block the IP address of known trolls."
Well, we can dream! (This means you 4:40 PM.)
Kudos, Lat.

Hey 6:17, I think 4:40 was using the famous Billy Merck sarcasm.
Posted by: Anonymous | August 31, 2007 06:27 PM
Irony, anyone?
Posted by: 6:17 is a moron | August 31, 2007 06:28 PM
4:40: You suck.
Where is LEWW!!????

LEWW sucks ass.
Merck is underrated.
Lat is great when he's not (a) shiny or (b) foaming at the mouth over Republicans.
And ATL rose to the top of the world of legal blogs when it broke the Nixon Peabody theme song..

The comments in ATL are awful. Where is Loyola 2L on this anniversary?
Posted by: anon | September 2, 2007 09:07 AM
Does anybody over the age of 13 use the word "fag" to insult anybody anymore?
Posted by: anon2 | September 3, 2007 09:48 AM
Not an insult, just stating that he should bang her. ( he is, as a matter of fact, a sissy fag)

We should also congratulate L2L on becoming L3L! Enjoy your last year of student loan deferrals!
