This award is given to top lawyers who are age 40 and younger or have practiced law for less than 10 years. To qualify, they must have been specifically recognized by their peers as experts in their fields, which leads to less than 2% of any given state’s lawyers having been granted the award.

About the Selection Process

The Emerging Lawyer selection pool is identified by annual surveys conducted by the Law Bulletin Media and sent to previously recognized Leading Lawyers. The Leading Lawyers are asked to offer the names of new lawyers they believe have taken initiative in their field and have proven themselves to be professional and ethical even at such an early point in their careers. Each Leading Lawyer must recommend two lawyers outside of their firm for every lawyer within their firm.
