The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 is an invitation-only organization composed of the leading trial lawyers in every state.
To meet the high bar of the organization, lawyers must satisfy stringent qualifications as civil plaintiff attorneys or criminal defense counsel, states the National Trial Lawyers Association.
Attorneys are selected after a rigorous process that includes peer nominations and third-party research. Membership is given to the select few of the most qualified lawyers from each state or region. The lawyers must demonstrate superior leadership, influence, reputation, stature, and public profile.
The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 provides ongoing education to attorneys as well as networking. It helps lawyers stay up to date with the rapidly-changing legal landscape. Through its professional networking opportunities, information, and CLE (Continuing Legal Education) programs, the organization aims to give its members a “competitive edge in today’s ever-changing legal profession.”
As well as holding an influential annual Trial Lawyers Summit, The National Trial Lawyers publishes a quarterly magazine called The Trial Lawyer.
