Washburn Law Alumni Recognized As Super Lawyers

Washburn University School of Law placed 223 alumni in Law & Politics' 2010 Super Lawyers U.S. Law School Rankings.

This new ranking system focuses on the end product — the quality of lawyers produced. It is unique in that Law & Politics ranks law schools based on the number of graduates who are selected for inclusion in the state and regional editions of Super Lawyers. No more than 5 percent of the lawyers in each state are selected to Super Lawyers lists. Super Lawyers selections are made on an annual, state-by-state basis. Peer nominations and evaluations are combined with third party research and each candidate is evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement.

In addition to Kansas, Super Lawyers from Washburn Law practice throughout the United States, including Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Washington D.C.

Law & Politics has also recognized 44 graduates from Washburn Law since 1999 as "Rising Stars."
