Reputation as a lawyer . . .

. . . by colleagues

For all fields of specialization lawyers all over Germany were intensively interviewed.

They asked

• those lawyers who have been found over their publishing- or teaching activities,
• certified specialists or lawyers with a main field of activity in a special field of law. The random sampling has been selected by chance and with regard to the regional spreading of the legal profession.

The lawyers have been asked to name especially recommendable colleagues of the prevailing field of law. Colleagues of the own office could not be namend. The results have been carefully protocolled and documented. In total 2047 lawyers have been consulted. The lawyers gave 16 312 recommendations in total.
