In re Opinion 39 of the Committee on Attorney Advertising, A-30/31/32 September Term 2008; Supreme Court; per curiam opinion; decided December 17, 2008. On review of an advisory opinion of the Committee on Attorney Advertising. DDS No. 04-1-2480 [26 pp.]
In 2006, the Supreme Court Committee on Attorney Advertising issued Opinion 39, which concluded that “advertisements describing attorneys as ‘Super Lawyers,’ ‘Best Lawyers in America,’ or similar comparative titles, violate the prohibition against advertisements that are inherently comparative in nature, RPC 7.1(a)(3), or that are likely to create an unjustified expectation about results, RPC 7.1(a)(2).”
