New Jersey Supreme Court

 

Lawyer listings sometimes cause controversy. The New Jersey Supreme Court permits lawyers to participate in listing services and advertising. The court does require a clear warning. The court has not participated in the selection of the lawyers or endorsed the lawyers on the list.

 

The New Jersey Supreme Court notes twelve “regulatory components”:

1.  The advertising representation must be true;

2.  The advertisement must state the year of inclusion in the listing as well as the specialty for which the lawyer was listed;

True and Complete

3.  The basis for the implied comparison must be verifiable by accurate and adequate disclosure in the advertisement of the rating or certifying methodology utilized for compiling the listing or inclusion that provides a basis upon which a consumer can reasonably determine how much value to place in the listing or certification;  as a minimum, the specific empirical data regarding the selection process should be included (e.g., in a peer-review methodology, the number of ballots sent and the percentage of the ballots returned․);

4.  The rating or certifying methodology must have included inquiry into the lawyer’s qualifications and considered those qualifications in selecting the lawyer for inclusion;

Cannot Pay

5.  The rating or certification cannot have been issued for a price or fee, nor can it have been conditioned on the purchase of a product, and the evaluation process must be completed prior to the solicitation of any advertising, such as for a special advertising supplement in a magazine or other publication;

6.  Where superlatives are contained in the title of the list itself, such as here, the advertising must state and emphasize only one’s inclusion in the Super Lawyers or The Best Lawyers in America list, and must not describe the attorney as being a “Super Lawyer” or the “Best Lawyer;”

Not Misleading

7.  Likewise, claims that the list contains “the best” lawyers or, e.g., “the top 5% of attorneys in the state,” or similar phrases are misleading, are usually factually inaccurate and should be prohibited;

8.  The peer-review or certification methodology must contain proper usage guidelines that embody these requirements and must be adhered to in the advertisement;

9.  The advertising must be done in a manner that does not impute the credentials bestowed upon individual attorneys to the entire firm;

10.  The peer-review or certification methodology must be open to all members of the Bar;

 11.  The peer-review rating methodology must contain standards for inclusion in the lists that are clear and consistently applied;  and

12.  The advertisement must include a disclaimer making it clear that inclusion of a lawyer in a Super Lawyers or The Best Lawyers in America list, or the rating of an attorney by any other organization based on a peer-review ranking is not a designation or recognized certification by the Supreme Court of New Jersey or the American Bar Association.

New Jersey Supreme Court opinion #39 on Super Lawyer lists and caveat emptor.
