Eleven Williams Mullen lawyers have been named "North Carolina Super Lawyers" in a recent survey by
Law & Politics magazine, with David R. Dorton listed among the top 100. The results will be published in the February 2008
North Carolina Super Lawyers magazine and in a special section of the February 2008 issue of
Charlotte magazine. "North Carolina Super Lawyers" will also appear in a special advertising supplement in
The New York Times (North Carolina distribution).
As part of the selection process,
Law & Politics magazine conducts a regional survey of lawyers who have been in practice for at least five years, asking them to nominate the best attorneys they've personally observed in action. In addition, the
Law & Politics attorney-led research department reviews the nominees' credentials based on a set of evaluation criteria, including confirmation of their license and any history of disciplinary action (which would remove them from consideration). To ensure a diverse and well-balanced list, the research staff considers factors such as firm size, practice area and geographic location.
