ABOTA is an organization of some 6,000 of the country's top defense and plaintiff civil trial lawyers whose primary purpose is the preservation of the civil jury trial.
The National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA) is a nonprofit organization which seeks to improve the quality of trial advocacy and to aid clients in choosing experienced legal representation. Since certification by NBTA is voluntary, a board certified attorney has taken the extra time and effort to meet all the standards set forth by the NBTA. It is similar in philosophy to the medical profession wherein many medical doctors are board certified in a. specific area of practice.

In order to become certified by the NBTA, the attorney must meet and document the following:
- At least five years as a practicing attorney
- Concentration in the field of concentration
- Completion of at least fifteen trials to verdict or judgment, as well as forty additional matters
- Continuing legal education in the field of trial advocacy
- Review of a writing sample in the form of a trial court brief
- Proof of good standing in the profession
- Successful completion of a day long written examination.
- Certification is for a period of five years, after which time the attorney must meet the requirements for recertification. These requirements include: continuing legal education, peer review, proof of good standing in the profession and, of course, an active trial practice.
The Indiana State Bar Association is made up of lawyers, judges, paralegals, law librarians, law students and legal and court administrators. The organization was founded in 1896 to advance the profession of law and secure a more effective administration of justice; to promote reforms in the law; and to encourage excellence in legal education for both the law student and the practicing lawyer. With more than 12,000 members, the Indiana State Bar Association is the single largest legal organization in the state, serving the public and profession for more than a century.
The American Trial Lawyers Association is a national organization composed of The Top 100 Trial Lawyers from each state. Membership is obtained through special invitation and is extended only to those attorneys who exemplify superior qualifications of leadership, reputation, influence, stature, and profile as civil plaintiff or criminal defense trial lawyers. It is the mission of The American Trial Lawyers Association to promote excellence in the legal profession through practical educational programs, networking opportunities, and legal publications that deal with current issues facing The American Trial Lawyer.
In selecting attorneys for Super Lawyers, Law & Politics employs a rigorous, multiphase process. Peer nominations and evaluations are combined with third party research. Each candidate is evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. Selections are made on an annual, state-by-state basis.

The objective is to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource for attorneys and consumers searching for legal counsel. Since Super Lawyers is intended to be used as an aid in the selection of a lawyer, we limit the list to attorneys who can be hired and retained by the public, i.e., lawyers in private practice and Legal Aid attorneys.

The Super Lawyers selection process involves three basic steps: creation of the candidate pool; evaluation of candidates by the research department; and peer evaluation by practice area.
An AV® Peer Review Rating is a significant accomplishment, a testament to the fact that a lawyer's peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence. A lawyer must be admitted to the bar for 10 years or more to receive an AV rating.
