Minnesota Lawyer’s Attorneys of the Year are an eclectic group of newcomers and veterans from private practice and public service.
Click to see the 2010 Attorneys of the Year event photos.
The honorees are chosen based on these criteria: leadership in the profession, involvement in major cases or other newsworthy events, excellence in corporate or transactional services and public service. The nominations are submitted by judges, bar groups and attorneys. The honorees come from diverse practice groups including criminal law, litigation, intellectual property and in-house legal service.
Minnesota Lawyer will feature profiles of Attorneys of the Year in a special supplement. We will also recognize honorees at an awards dinner in February 23, 2012.

How about the prosecution side of the source code case? Why aren’t they up for any awards? If anything, they did just as good a job as the defense side.
Oh…by the way…they won…
