How Do Lawyers Become Members Of “Best Lawyers In America” and “Super Lawyers Of New England”?
Lawyers are selected by groups such as Best Lawyers and Super Lawyers by anonymous means. The rankings seem to correspond to the Martindale-Hubbell rankings but not always. The rankings are made anonymously and therefore are deemed reliable indicators to the public as to the abilities of attorneys they are considering to hire.
The significance of these rankings is that they goes beyond bragging rights of the lawyers involved. They are indicators to the public as to the background, training and experience of a lawyer that they are considering hiring to handle their case. Unless a person is personally acquainted with the lawyer the general public has no way of knowing whether the lawyer being hired is someone they want handling their case. These rating groups are a good way of evaluating this type of information in the hiring process.
