Operated by Thomson Reuters, Super Lawyers is a rating program that recognizes the work of outstanding attorneys in over 70 practice areas. Each year, candidates for the Super Lawyer distinction are nominated by attorney peers and the candidate pool is finalized after research by the Super Lawyers staff. To maintain the integrity of the nomination process, Super Lawyers prohibits attorneys from campaigning for the award and tracks where nominations come from.
After the candidate pool is established, each nominee is evaluated in terms of peer recognition and professional achievement. Super Lawyers considers the nominees’ verdict history, experience, scholarly work, pro bono activities, honors and awards, and other outstanding achievements when making its selections for the annual awards. The final steps in the selection process include peer evaluations and a vetting procedure that ensures each prospective award winner is in good standing and has never faced disciplinary or criminal proceedings.
When the annual Super Lawyers list is finalized, it is published in state and regional issues of Super Lawyers magazine as well as other magazines and newspapers. No more than 5 percent of all lawyers in each state receive the annual award. To find a listing of previous Super Lawyers, visit www.superlawyers.com.
