About Leading Lawyers
Leading Lawyers is a division of Law Bulletin Publishing Company, a diversified print and electronic information company that has been serving the Chicago legal and business communities since 1854.  The lists of Leading Lawyers are made up of a four-phase research process.  A lawyer cannot buy their way onto any of the lists.  The total number of Leading Lawyers in a state is limited to less than five percent of all lawyers licensed to practice in that state.  A survey is mailed to all lawyers in that state asking them which of their peers they believe comprise the top lawyers within their respective region and/or area(s) of law.  Only those lawyers who are most often recommended, and later approved by the Leading Lawyers Advisory Board, are selected as Leading Lawyers.
