More than 20,000 attorneys were nominated for the 2007 Lawdragon 500 Leading Lawyers in America list by their peers and the Lawdragon editorial staff, who selected just 2,500 as finalists. Lawdragon selected the finalists, and ultimately the 500 Leading Lawyers, based on a proprietary system that takes into account dozens of qualifications that are scored to determine the best lawyers nationwide. Among the factors utilized in the list’s selection are extensive research by a staff of award-winning journalists who interview thousands of lawyers nationwide, and a survey of lawyers and general counsel who nominate and vote for their peers online. The 500 Leading Lawyers in America also reflects the practices that are the "hottest" during a particular year, as well as those individuals who have had the greatest recent impact on the legal world. A listing of all Lawdragon 500 finalists is available on the Lawdragon Web site.
Established in 2005, Lawdragon levels the playing field in the area of law firm rankings, addressing the legal profession’s need to provide better information to clients.
