NLJ 350 = ranking by # of lawyers at the firm
AMLAW 200 = ranking by $ revenue in the previous year
VAULT = ranking by surveys submitted by 17,000 associates of relative prestige.
We collected all the surveys and averaged the score for each firm. The firms were then ranked in order, starting with the highest average prestige score as No. 1 on down to determine the Vault Top 100. Remember that in the Top 100, Vault is not assessing firms by profit, size, lifestyle, number of deals or quality of service; we are ranking the most prestigious law firms based on the perceptions of currently practicing lawyers at peer firms.
