Candidates are evaluated on a dozen indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement and can’t nominate themselves. The selection process includes independent research, peer nominations and peer evaluations.
The objective is to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys as a resource for attorneys and consumers seeking legal counsel.
