Rhode Island Monthly Communications Inc. asked Rhode Island licensed lawyers to vote for their peers in a range of law practice areas. Rhode Island Monthly contracted DataJoe Research to conduct the survey using an online ballot for collecting, vetting and tallying votes.

Otherwise, inclusion in the list is based on the opinions of responding lawyers in the region. DataJoe takes time and energy to ensure fair voting, although the results of this survey nomination and internet research campaign are not an objective metric.
