About the A-List
In the American Lawyer’s A-List, a firm’s score is based on a number of factors, both financial and cultural: revenue per lawyer, pro bono commitment, associate satisfaction, racial diversity and gender. Each category, as well as the overall score, is based on a 100-point scale with revenue per lawyer and pro bono given double weight.
