The Best Lawyers in America® employs a peer review system to identify outstanding attorneys. Nominations are made by other lawyers, who are then asked to evaluate the nominee's professional abilities. According to the organization's website, the process is designed to capture the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about their colleagues' competence within the same geographical area and practice area. Voters respond to the question, "If you were unable to take a case yourself, how likely would you refer it to this nominee?" on a scale of one to five, and they may also provide additional comments. After collecting and reviewing this feedback, Best Lawyers confirms that nominees are in good standing with their local bar associations before finalizing the list.
