How Are Pennsylvania Super Lawyers® Selected?
Super Lawyers® uses a patented multiphase selection process that includes nominations, independent research, and peer evaluations. Attorneys enter the candidate pool through one of four paths: a managing partner survey, nomination by fellow attorneys, third-party feedback, or direct identification by Super Lawyers®.
Independent research then evaluates each candidate across 12 indicators of professional achievement:
- Verdicts and settlements
- Transactions
- Representative clients
- Legal experience
- Legal honors and awards
- Special licenses or certifications
- Standing within the law firm
- Bar association and professional activity
- Pro bono work and community service
- Lectures and legal writing
- Education and employment background
- Other outstanding legal achievements
Candidates with the highest point totals advance to a blue ribbon panel, where attorneys evaluate peers within their primary practice area. The Super Lawyers® list recognizes no more than 5 percent of attorneys in each state.
