2011 Hall of Fame.

• Position: LEGAL ELITE

Making the Legal Elite means a lawyer has been recognized by his peers as one of the state's top practitioners. Even more elite are those who receive the most votes in each category. Since 2004, they have been elevated into the Hall of Fame, now with 100 members, and are no longer eligible for the annual list. There is no Hall of Fame for Young Guns winners, but they can only be elected in another category. Unless otherwise requested, Hall of Fame members are listed by their firm at the time of their selection.
