Law alumni, faculty named ‘Best Lawyers in Kansas City’
More than 100 KU Law alumni, and a few faculty members, have been deemed among the “Best Lawyers in Kansas City” by Ingram’s magazine.
Ingram’s partnered with Best Lawyers in America for its June 2009 edition featuring lawyers recognized by other lawyers as tops in the Kansas City region.
Best Lawyers’ honorees are compiled from more than 2.2 million confidential evaluations provided by thousands of the nation’s most respected lawyers – a method unchanged since the list’s inception in 1983.
Because membership on the list cannot be bought, and no purchase is required to be included, Best Lawyers is considered the gold standard of reliability and integrity in lawyers’ ratings.
KU Law honorees are listed below by practice area, name and graduation year.
