The statistical information below applies to designations appearing in the special section appearing in the November 2023 issue of Connecticut Magazine.
The final selection for 2023 was made from a pool of 7,787 attorneys, producing the final 2023 Connecticut Super Lawyers list of 1,720 attorneys.
For 2023, 385 Connecticut attorneys were invited to participate as Blue Ribbon Panel (BRP) members, evaluating candidates in their primary practice area. 65 of the attorneys participated, contributing 2,419 evaluations of 1,292 candidates.
In addition, the "Star Search" process produced a pool of 2,282 names for the 2023 candidate pool.
As part of the selection process conducted for 2023, Super Lawyers sent 9,280 emails to all active, resident Connecticut attorneys licensed for five years or more. This year, 516 (or 5.56%) returned ballots. That population provided 3,211 nominations. Since some lawyers receive multiple nominations, 1,756 lawyers were placed in the nomination pool.
