Connecticut Selection Statistics — 2010

The statistical information below applies to designations appearing in the November 2009 issue of New England Super Lawyers, and the special section appearing in the February 2010 issue of Connecticut magazine.

The Final Selection for 2010 was made from a pool of 3,453 attorneys, producing the final 2010 Connecticut Super Lawyers list of 865 attorneys.

For 2010, 198 Connecticut attorneys were invited to participate as Blue Ribbon Panel members, evaluating candidates in their primary practice area. Over one-half of the attorneys participated contributing 4,050 evaluations of 1,500 candidates.

In addition, the “Star Search” process produced a pool of 681 names for the 2010 candidate pool.

As part of the selection process conducted for 2010, Super Lawyers mailed 10,105 postcards and e-mails to all active, resident Connecticut attorneys licensed for five years or more. This year, 329 (or 3.3%) returned ballots. That population provided 1,884 nominations. Since some lawyers receive multiple nominations, 1,201 lawyers were placed in the nomination pool.

The following is the detailed statistical information for the current and prior years.
