Our special sections and events that recognize professional excellence in the law have evolved over the years. We started with one section, On the Rise, in 2002, and we have added events and other sections since then. We used to spread these out over the year, but this week we have combined them into one big event and this big web feature, where we list our Attorney of the Year finalists (the winner to be announced at our reception Thursday evening; we’ll report the result on Friday online) and honorees for Lifetime Achievement, Distinguished Leaders, Litigation Departments of the Year, In-House Department of the Year, GC Impact and On the Rise.
