Who and how to judge?
Judging panel
A panel of esteemed judges consisting of retired court judges, senior lawyers, law professors, senior legal technologists, business leaders at corporates, senior legal counsels, and other senior legal professionals will carefully and independently evaluate the nominations one by one and select the 40 most promising young professional talents for LexisNexis’s Legal 40 Under 40 list. The judges can’t review nominations from their related parties.
Judging criteria
The nominations will be passed to all judges individually. The judges review each nomination one by one independently. The judges will rate each nomination from 0 to 20 from five perspectives.
◎ The nominees’ past accomplishments (20%)
◎ The nominees’ personal continuous growth in the next ten years (20%)
◎ The nominees’ influence in inspiring colleagues, clients, and peers (20%)
◎ The nominees’ positive impact on the legal industry development (20%)
◎ The nominees’ contribution to the betterment of society and the Rule of Law (20%)
The judges can’t rate nominees that are from their organisations or have relations with them.
The 40 nominees with the highest average ratings (average rating = total rating scores/number of rating judges) will be selected for the list. The judges will have a second round of voting for nominees in a tie.
How to nominate
Nominations are submitted using the simple online nomination form in ENGLISH. You may prepare all information needed by using the nomination template and copy and paste it all at once into the online nomination form.
The nomination is open from 14 June to 13 July 15 July 2022 (both inclusive) though nomination fees vary as per the submission times – the earlier the lower.
