confident we have—you’ll probably notice
that the lawyers’ names you recognize are

Super Lawyers selects attorneys using a rigorous, multistage process in which
peer nominations and evaluations are combined with our independent research:
NOMINATION, RESEARCH & SELECTION PROCESS
NOMINATIONS
Each year, we invite lawyers to nominate the top attorneys they’ve personally observed in
action. Our attorney-led research staff also searches for lawyers who have attained certain
honors or results.
EVALUATION OF THE CANDIDATE POOL
Our researchers evaluate candidates by 12 indicators of peer recognition and
professional achievement. Research evaluations are based on information from a variety
of online and database sources including law firm websites, legal publications and
information supplied to us by lawyers at my.superlawyers.com.
PEER EVALUATION BY PRACTICE AREA
Candidates are grouped according to their primary practice areas. Candidates in each
practice area who received the highest point totals in the steps above are asked to serve
on a review panel.
FINAL SELECTION
Candidates are grouped into categories based on firm size. The attorneys with the
highest totals from each category are selected. Thus, lawyers are grouped with other
lawyers of comparable firm size.
