SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING EVIDENCE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR LAWYERS AND LAW FIRMS PRACTICING IN FEDERAL COURT

摘要

The present invention provides a system and method for identifying accomplishment in the legal profession for lawyers and law firms who litigate cases in federal court. In one embodiment, a candidate pool database is created by identifying lawyers and law firms associated with substantive written opinions decided by federal judges. Lawyers and law firms receiving favorable written opinions are then assigned numerical point totals based on the importance of the written opinion in the specific litigation as well as the significance it may have on the legal profession. Lawyers and law firms are then ranked based on their point totals and are recognized as demonstrating accomplishment in the legal profession for those litigating cases in federal court.
