The top 20 law firms in the nation were selected based on the greatest number of awards they received in the program during the past ten years. The Burton Awards, which this year celebrates its 11th year, will be held on June 14, 2010, at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C.

In making the announcement, William C. Burton, founder and Chair of the program said, "The award-winning firms have set an example in legal writing which all members of the profession should follow and emulate. Their success is applauded and their emphasis on this critically important discipline is also lauded."
