How is a Super Lawyer determined?

Super Lawyers are the top 5 percent of all attorneys, both private and public. Super Lawyer status cannot be bought or paid for. The Super Lawyer system sends ballots to all statewide lawyers who have been in practice for at least five years. Lawyers are asked to nominate other admirable lawyers they have seen in action. Lawyers may nominate lawyers from their own firm but these nominees must also receive nominations from outside the firm in order to be considered; also in-house nominations receive fewer points.

Then the Super Lawyer publishing team does its own research and adds more worthy candidates to the pool.

The Super Lawyer research department examines the background and experience of each candidate, searching for evidence of peer recognition and professional achievement. Next the Super Lawyer research team breaks down their list by practice area. Those lawyers with high balloting points and qualitative evaluations are reviewed and scored by a panel of their practice area peers.

Before going to press, candidates are once again checked for local licensing and to verify there are no outstanding matters that would affect adversely on the lawyer.

Current rules of professional responsibility limit attorneys from making comparisons of their abilities with other attorneys unless the comparison can be objectively verified. To date, their is neither a PA or NJ Supreme Court decisions discussing the validity of this process or the SuperLawyer designation.
