No aspect of this advertisement has been approved by the Supreme Court of New Jersey.. To be eligible for inclusion in Rising Stars, a candidate must be either 40 years old or younger or in practice for ten years or less. Selection for inclusion to the Rising Star listing follows a 3-step selection process which is a comprehensive, good-faith and detailed attempt to produce a list of lawyers that have attained high peer recognition, meet ethical standards, and have demonstrated some degree of achievement in their field. Step one is the creation of the candidate pool where lawyers enter the candidate pool by being formally nominated by a peer; identified by the research department in the "Star Search" process; or informally nominated.  The second step includes the evaluation of the lawyers in the candidate pool.  Rising Stars' research department evaluates each candidate based on these 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement: verdicts and settlements; transactions; representative clients; experience; honors and awards; special licenses and certifications; position within law firm; bar and or other professional activity; pro bono and community service as a lawyer; scholarly lectures and writings; education and employment background; and other outstanding achievements.  These indicators are not treated equally; some have a higher maximum point value than others.  The final selection for the Rising Stars list is by grouping candidates into four firm-size categories.  Those with the highest point totals from each category are selected.
