What is Super Lawyers?
Super Lawyers is a national rating service that recognizes attorneys based on a patented selection process. Once per year, lawyers have the opportunity to nominate peers they’ve worked with firsthand. Lawyers cannot nominate themselves or solicit nominations from others.
In-house researchers vet each nominee’s career history across 12 different metrics:
- Verdicts and settlements
- Experience
- Transactions
- Representative clients
- Education and employment background
- Position within the lawyer’s firm
- Special licenses and certifications
- Professional and bar activity
- Honors and awards
- Pro bono work and community service
- Scholarly lectures and writings
After the independent research round, each candidate gets evaluated by a “blue ribbon panel” of the highest-ranking candidates. According to Super Lawyers, no more than 5 percent of each state’s attorneys earn recognition in any given year.
