Best Lawyers uses a pure peer review system to identify the top attorneys in various practice areas. As described on their website, the process captures the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues. Nominations are followed by feedback from peers, who rate how likely they would refer a case to the nominee. After verifying that nominees are in good standing with their local bar associations, the final list is published. This rigorous process ensures that recognition is based on professional merit and reputation.
