Best Lawyers, the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession, has named Edmund L. Brunini, Jr. as the “Jackson, MS Best Lawyers Health Care Lawyer of the Year” and R. David Kaufman as the “Jackson, MS Best Lawyers Bet-the-Company Litigator of the Year” for 2010. Brunini and Kaufman were the only two lawyers selected in their respective categories in Mississippi.
After more than a quarter of a century in publication, Best Lawyers is designating “Lawyers of the Year” in high-profile legal specialties in large legal communities. Only a single lawyer in each specialty in each community is being honored as the “Lawyer of the Year.”
Best Lawyers compiles its lists of outstanding attorneys by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. The current, 16th edition of The Best Lawyers in America (2010), is based on more than 2.8 million detailed evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers.
The lawyers being honored as “Lawyers of the Year” have received particularly high ratings in our surveys by earning a high level of respect among their peers for their abilities, professionalism, and integrity.
