What is the Super Lawyers Rising Stars recognition?

Its Rising Stars selection process considers factors such as professional achievement and peer recognition. Eligible attorneys generally must be 40 years old or younger or have practiced law for 10 years or less.
The recognition reflects professional achievement, but it does not determine the outcome of any particular legal matter.
