He or she has usually practiced law for many years, and is recognized for the highest levels of skill and integrity. The rating signifies the highest legal ability, and very high adherence to professional standards of conduct, ethics, reliability, and diligence. This distinction is given only to those who have earned a very high measure of esteem in the profession."
