Abraham Gutman
I cover civil courts, whether it's a lawsuit to resolve disputes between neighbors or litigation attempting to change laws. I am especially interested in telling stories that go beyond eye-popping verdicts to show how civil courts interact with people's lives.
Before joining The Inquirer, I was a data analyst at Temple University, where I conducted research on the intersections of law and health.
I joined The Inquirer in 2018 as an opinion writer and member of the editorial board. I moved to the Health desk in 2022, where I covered mental health and the medical workforce. I often used data to tell stories. During my time on the Health desk, I helped launch Philly Health Insider, an exclusive newsletter for Philadelphia-area medical professionals.
I am a graduate of Hunter College in the City University of New York, where I completed both my bachelor's and master's degrees in economics. I live in South Philly, and outside of work I enjoy rooting for the Phillies and Eagles, and suffer rooting for the Sixers. If I'm not in court or the newsroom I'm most likely in a neighborhood playground with my two children.
