ADVISORY BOARD
The Super Lawyers Board of Advisors is composed of attorneys who
embody excellence in practice. The board, which provides counsel,
feedback and editorial ideas, includes lawyers from across the country

FROM THE PUBLISHER
How do we choose which lawyers to feature?
For starters, we pick attorneys who’ve
been selected to the current Super Lawyers
list. Then we look at which firms and
practice areas we’ve recently covered—we
don’t want to play favorites or ignore
deserving but little known candidates.
Attorneys ranking near the top of the list
are more likely to be included and to appear
on the cover. And the story itself is crucial.
We’re partial to lawyers who are breaking
new legal ground or have a career’s worth of
notable accomplishments.
The one thing that isn’t a factor?
Advertising. As with the Super Lawyers list,
editorial is never for sale.
In this issue, Pete Law lets us into his
workshop, where he takes apart and puts
together vintage cars the way he does with

talks about resilience, her mentors, and
paying it forward with the Sutherland
Scholars; Jennifer Auer Jordan develops
