Welcome to the ABC News Law and Justice Unit

— -- ABC's Law and Justice Unit is unique in network broadcasting. A team of lawyers, reporters, producers and correspondents devoted exclusively to legal reporting. And we are excited that this one-of-a-kind resource is now bringing its expertise and insight to the web.

The Law page will be your best source of everything related to law and justice. We will feature original ABC News reporting on stories you won't see anywhere else, from civil rights cases, unequal justice, crime mysteries and the wrongfully convicted.

This is the place to come for breaking crime news and up-to-the-minute coverage of major trials. Our legal experts will write background articles on the big law and justice stories, and we will interview the nation's top lawyers about the news of the day. Answering your questions through interactive sessions.

The Law page will also bring you original reports from our reporters at the Department of Justice, led by Pierre Thomas, and at the Supreme Court, led by Jan Crawford-Greenburg.

And I will check in weekly with my thoughts in blog form on the big legal stories we are watching. I'll tell you about the stories I care about, what we are working on, and a little about the places I am visiting around the country.

All in all, we are excited and challenged by this new venture. My colleagues here are the best in the business and promise to deliver insight on American justice you won't find anywhere else.

Click on us anytime.
