Last week, we put out the call for nominations for Above the Law’s tenth annual LAWYER OF THE YEAR competition. Alas, we didn’t get much in terms of reader response — but we can hardly complain, considering that it was the sleepy week in between Christmas and New Year’s.
But now that everyone’s back from break and back to billing, there’s no excuse. Please submit your nominees to us by email (subject line “Lawyer of the Year 2016”). We will review them and pick a slate of finalists, and then you’ll vote on them in a reader poll.
We look forward to your nominations (which we reserve the right to supplement with our own editorial picks). The deadline is tomorrow — WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern time) — so don’t delay. Thanks!
