Super Lawyers®: History and Review Process
Super Lawyers® is part of Thomson Reuters, the “Answer Company,” and is behind the curation of both the Super Lawyers® and Rising Stars lists. The annual Super Lawyers® list has become a highly respected legal ranking publication that rates attorneys from over 70 legal practice areas.
Every year, attorneys are either nominated by a third party or identified by the Super Lawyers® Research Team for Super Lawyers® consideration and are put through a rigorous review process to determine whether their careers warrant a listing in the next edition. They are examined on a variety of categories meant to illustrate their “professional achievement and peer recognition,” including:
- Verdicts and settlements;
- Representative clients;
- Honors and awards;
- Education and employment background;
- Bar activity;
- And more.
Then, they must be reevaluated before a Blue Ribbon Panel composed of top-rated attorneys from whichever practice area a lawyer is vying for a listing in. In each edition of Super Lawyers®, no more than 5% of the nation’s attorneys obtain a listing.

What Is Rising Stars?
Rising Stars is the Super Lawyers® list specifically dedicated to showcasing early career attorneys who have passed the Super Lawyers® review process. To be eligible for Rising Stars recognition, attorneys must be aged 40 or younger or still in the first decade of their careers. No more than 2.5% of attorneys win this recognition on an annual basis.
