Lorelei Baird

Lorelei Baird has covered the law since 2002–first at Los Angeles legal newspapers, then as a freelancer, then at the ABA Journal and now as a freelancer again. She's covered almost everything legal, but has special depth of experience in criminal justice, immigration, civil rights, intellectual property (she took Harvard’s free online copyrights class, CopyX) and Indian law. She enjoys writing about the law because it very often has compelling human stories behind it. It’s also nice to be in a field where original documents are often part of the public record.
