Overlawyered
Overlawyered is a law blog on the subject of tort reform run by author Walter Olson. Founded in 1999, it is "widely considered to be the oldest legal blog and is also one of the most popular", according to Law.com.
The subject of the site is alleged absurdities, excesses, and abuse of the American tort law system. Its regular readership includes thousands of lawyers in the United States, as well as physicians, and readers in other countries considering American-style tort systems.〔〔
On April 26, 2013, Olson announced the blog had affiliated itself with the Cato Institute, where he is a senior fellow.
==Dispute with aviation tort lawyer==
Aviation tort lawyer Arthur Alan Wolk has sued Overlawyered, Olson, and contributors Ted Frank and David Nieporent for libel over a post written by Frank.〔Jacob Sullum, ''Reason'', ("Lawyer Trying to Protect His Reputation As an Effective Advocate Misses Deadline for His Libel Suit" ), August 6, 2010〕〔http://www.whiteandwilliams.com/CM/Publications/COURTDISMISSESDEFAMATIONCLAIMAGAINSTLEGALBLOG.asp〕 Judge Mary A. McLaughlin ruled that Overlawyered is a "mass medium" and dismissed the case because Wolk did not file within the one-year statute of limitations.〔〔Shannon P.
