Law & Politics, the publisher, mails ballots to attorneys throughout Illinois and asks those attorneys to nominate the best lawyers in various fields. Law & Politics also searches for outstanding lawyers by reviewing databases, national and local periodicals and trade journals. The final selection is made by dividing firms by size and attorneys by practice areas, and then checking each candidate’s standing with the Illinois State Bar.
Illinois Rising Stars
The Illinois Rising Stars selections are based on nominations by members of the Illinois Super Lawyers list. Rising Stars are the up-and-coming Illinois attorneys who are 40 or younger or have been in practice for fewer than 10 years.
According to Super Lawyers, the objective of the selection process is to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource to assist attorneys and sophisticated consumers in the search for legal counsel.
