How Pennsylvania Super Lawyers^® Are Selected

Each year, there are four stages involved in the selection of Pennsylvania Super Lawyers^®: General Survey, Screening Process, Blue Ribbon Panel Review, and Final Selection Process.

General Survey - Pennsylvania Super Lawyers^® Selection

39,000 ballots are distributed to attorneys across Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania attorneys vote for the best Pennsylvania attorneys they have "seen in action."
Ballots are authenticated and only counted if proper verification by the voting attorney is provided.
Nominated Pennsylvania lawyers are scored on the number and type of votes received. Votes received from outside law firms are scored significantly higher than votes received from within the nominated lawyers’ law firms.
Any "back-scratch" votes eliminate a lawyer from the list. Back-scratch voting occurs when lawyers agree to vote for each other.

Screening Process - Pennsylvania Super Lawyers^® Selection

Pennsylvania lawyers have their credentials reviewed by research staff. They are then scored based on defined evaluation criteria.

Pennsylvania lawyers are also reviewed to make sure they:

are properly licensed in Pennsylvania
are in good standing with the Bar
have no history of disciplinary actions

Blue Ribbon Panel Review - Pennsylvania Super Lawyers^® Selection

Nominated lawyers are divided into different practice areas.
A Blue Ribbon Panel is assembled for each of the practice areas. The panel consists of the top point-getters from the General Survey and from the Screening Process.
The panel reviews the list of nominated Pennsylvania lawyers in their areas of practice.
The panel assigns a positive or negative point total for each nominated lawyer.

Final Selection - Pennsylvania Super Lawyers^® Selection

A final score for each nominated lawyer is derived by adding all scores from the first 3 stages.
Nominated Pennsylvania lawyers are divided according to the size of their law firm—small, medium and large.
Lawyers with the top points by firm size are then designated Pennsylvania Super Lawyers^® for the year in focus.
Those chosen as Pennsylvania Super Lawyers^® consist of the top 5% of the attorneys in Pennsylvania.
