In selecting attorneys for Super Lawyers, Law & Politics employs a rigorous, multiphase process. Peer nominations and evaluations are combined with third party research. Each candidate is evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. Selections are made on an annual, state-by-state basis.
The objective is to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource to assist attorneys and consumers in the search for legal counsel. Since Super Lawyers is intended to be used as an aid in the selection of a lawyer, we limit the list to attorneys who can be hired and retained by the public, i.e., lawyers in private practice and Legal Aid attorneys.
Law & Politics has completed the nomination and selection process for 2009 Tennessee Super Lawyers & Rising Stars. The magazine will be out in December.
We will begin accepting nominations for 2010 Tennessee Super Lawyers & Rising Stars in November.

Smaller Can Be Better
For some lawyers, big firm life offers security. But for others, that's less important than independence and flexibility.

“We have used our ad to promote not only our New York practice, but the programs managed by our charitable foundation. New York Super Lawyers has been an effective forum for introducing the legal community to our many partnerships with organizations such as New York University. The Super Lawyers vehicle is a direct pipeline into New York’s legal community—and that benefits our foundation and the causes it supports.”
