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.[1]

The subject of the site is absurdities,[2] excesses,[3] and abuse[4] 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.[1][2]
