Earlier this summer, the National Law Journal, collaborating with the Connecticut Law Tribune, solicited nominations for our Boston Rising Stars supplement, which features exemplary young lawyers in the Boston area.

An independent judging panel—composed of public interest lawyers, law professors, general counsel, legal consultants, and private attorneys—scored dozens of nominees on several key measures: development of the law; advocacy and community contributions; service to the bar; and peer and public recognition. Law Tribune and NLJ editors then reviewed the findings and made selections from among those with the highest scores.
