Law360 (December 16, 2022, 10:32 AM EST) -- Law360 publishes several award series throughout the year, including ones that highlight top-performing attorneys and practice groups. Because these awards and lists require firms or attorneys to submit information at a certain link or in a certain preset format, we've compiled this calendar of useful dates and links for firms to use in their planning.

To find out more about each series or survey or to make a submission, click the relevant links below. This page is continually updated as new information becomes available. Links will be added in each section as submission forms and other documents become available. Please note that FAQs and instructions may be subject to change.

Law360's Roundup of Quarterly Attorney Promotions

Law360's 2023 Editorial Boards

Law360 is looking for avid readers of our publications to serve as members of our 2023 editorial advisory boards.

The purpose of the editorial advisory board is to get feedback from readers on how Law360 can improve its coverage and to provide our reporters with a pool of potential sources. All discussions from the advisory board calls are off the record.

All participants will be asked to join one board conference call a year, which will generally be held on Tuesdays or Thursdays at 4 p.m. EST/1 p.m. PST, and to give occasional feedback to section editors via email about specific news coverage.

On the annual conference call, participants will be asked to prepare two to three talking points and cases or trends in their practice areas to discuss. The more specific the suggestions are, the more helpful they will be to Law360 in planning future coverage, so we ask that board members take some time prior to the meeting to consider their answers. We will also ask for suggestions on how we can improve our coverage.

You must currently subscribe to and read the relevant Law360 publication to serve on an editorial advisory board.

Submissions are due Friday, March 3rd at 8 p.m. EST/5 p.m. PST.

Click here and choose Law360's 2023 Editorial Boards from the dropdown menu to submit an application for our editorial boards.
