  1. lol, are you kidding me? McDonald Carano and Alverson Sweatshop must have given billable credit for the time it took to vote for their own attorneys. Congrats!

  2. Nothing against any of those that made the list, but how can you leave guys like Paul Hejmanowski, Dan Polsenberg, Steve Morris, or Nick Santoro off that list? I think there must be some sampling bias (as hinted to by 6:27 anonymous above)

  3. Congrats to all.

    On a different note, regarding "in house" voting; do you really think that there are enough "in house" votes to make a difference? If you read the actual article, a vote for an attorney in your same firm=1 point; vote for an attorney in a different firm=3 points.
