Only lawyers who meet the “Very High” criteria of General Ethical Standards can proceed to the next step in the ratings process.
The Legal Ability rating indicates professional ability within a specific area of practice. Legal Ability ratings are based on performance in five key areas: Legal Knowledge, Analytical Capabilities, Judgment, Communication Ability, and Legal Experience.
