It’s time again for the New Jersey Law Journal’s New Jersey Legal Awards, where we set out to recognize attorneys, firms and legal departments based in the Garden State.
Deadline is July 9, 2025.
Please note that for all Individual Attorneys, we are requiring that attorneys submit a Certificate of Good Standing, Certification of Court of Last Resort or alternative letter (see here for more information). You can upload a copy in the awards portal. If you do not have a copy of this letter upon submission, you need to certify that one will be sent if the nominee is selected.
And in keeping with tradition, we’ll assemble panels of esteemed members of the New Jersey Legal Community to assist our editorial staff in evaluating certain categories. Unless otherwise specified, all contest periods should be from Jan. 1, 2024 through the submission deadline.
We want to hear from you. Send us submissions in the following categories, and please read and follow all pertinent instructions carefully:
- New Leaders of the Bar
- Lifetime Achievement
- Attorney of the Year
- Dealmakers
