Earlier this summer, The Legal asked the Pennsylvania legal community to submit nominations for our annual Lawyers on the Fast Track. The nominations came pouring in, dozens and dozens of them, all demonstrating the impressive work being done by young lawyers across the state.
The nomination forms and any letters of recommendation accompanying them were sent to an eight-member judging panel composed of evaluators from all corners of the legal profession and the state. After reviewing their results, the following 38 attorneys have been selected as the 2013 Lawyers on the Fast Track:
