They aren't perfect but they generally do an alright job identifying the main players

CR. They’re just prestigious/important enough to where it wouldn’t surprise me if they turned out to be super-corrupt though.

Why wouldn’t you expect it to be super corrupt … like anything else?

they are the most legit rankings there are.

all that other shit, like "best lawyers" and law dragon, etc. are all a popularity contest and worthless.

example, at my last firm, i was the only traditional labor lawyer. as much as i suck at most things in life, i happen to be really good at that. the "best lawyers" list came out, and there were 3-4 employment litigators at my firm listed on the "management - labor" best of list. i was not on it.

those rankings are all a joke. chambers is legit, though, and they really vet you.

I think they were better 10-15 years ago. There appears to be some pretty bad ratings creep as it relates to the lower bands (B3 and below) and even some of B2. B1 and above still looks legit.

It's a joke. I'm a SuperLawyer (5 years in a row) and nowhere to be found on Chambers.

aren't you in biglaw? i don't recall baker H. putting its attorneys up for those fake "superlawyer" "fabulous under 40" etc bullshit rankings while i was there, but maybe they did.

they did that when i was at baker donelson, which i'd classify as midlaw.

A lot of biglaw firms do put up people for superlawyers and "rising stars". I'm not at biglaw. Haven't been for a long time.

180, fuck biglaw. i hope you were at a better firm than BH. i liked it there, but the comp sucked dick. that said, i was able to totally spin out and have my life unravel (including a 3-day stint in jail) and i never even got talked to about my hours or questions about where i was.
