Who’s Up, who’s down, and how so many of the same A-List winners keep managing to come back for more. Click here for the full package: The 2015 A-List: The New Elite.
1. Paul Hastings National
With the A-List’s highest scores in associate satisfaction and pro bono (199 and 198, respectively), Paul Hastings again cruised to the list’s top spot. The firm also improved its RPL score by five points, to 179 from 174, and its total score of 1,131 was 10 points 
higher than its tally of 1,121 a year ago. The firm’s lowest marks were in diversity: Its score of 178 in that area is a drop of three points from 181 in 2014 but still strong enough to put it in the top 94 percent of Am Law 200 firms.
