Each year, “Washington Law & Politics” magazine publishes a feature called “Super Lawyers.” The attorneys honored by the magazine are chosen through a multi-step evaluation process that incorporates peer recognition and professional achievement. “Law & Politics” uses a system of nominations, peer evaluation, and internal research, which acts as a system of checks and balances. The following Gonzaga University School of Law alumni were chosen in the summer 2008 issue as Washington Super Lawyers 2008.
