About the Awards is a new series of Q&As with our editors across ALM Media’s publications that aims to give readers and potential nominees insight into our judging process for awards related to ALM Recognition Events. We hope this will guide you as you draft your submissions, and we welcome any additional questions you may have.

For the next column in our series, we’ll be discussing our New York Legal Awards with bureau chief Andrew Denney, who will both be leading the judging across all categories.
