Twenty-one Jackson Walker attorneys were selected as 2011 "Rising Stars" by Thomson Reuters. The award is based on a two-part system that determines the top 2.5 percent of the state's up-and-coming lawyers. Over 65,000 Texas lawyers are surveyed and asked to nominate the best lawyers that they have personally observed in action. When the results are in, Thomson Reuters conducts independent research of the nominees' credentials. "Rising Stars" are attorneys who are either 40 years old and under or who have been practicing law for ten or fewer years. The list will be published in the April 2011 issue of Texas Monthly.
