It's time again for the New Jersey Law Journal's New Jersey Legal Awards, where we set out to recognize great lawyers and lawyering.

For our Litigation Departments of the Year honors, we are targeting firms of all sizes with an office in New Jersey.

New categories this year include:

  • Office Managing Partner of the Year
  • Banking and Financial Firm of the Year
  • Real Estate Firm of the Year
  • Pro Bono Lawyer of the Year
  • Intellectual Property Attorney of the Year
  • Cannabis Law Practice of the Year

Deadline is July 9, 2024.

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 two of our most competitive categories: Attorney of the Year and New Leaders of the Bar.

Unless otherwise specified, all contest periods should be from Jan. 1, 2023 through the submission deadline.

  • Law Firm of the Year
