IRVINE, Calif. – JAMS, the largest private provider of mediation and arbitration services worldwide, is proud to announce that it has been prominently recognized in the fifth annual U.S. News & World Report ranking of the legal services industry. As it has done for years with universities and hospitals, U.S. News, working with the leading attorney ranking company Best Lawyers, has now ranked law firms and legal services providers.
Nine JAMS locations received first-tier rankings among ADR firms in their respective cities. They include Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Orange, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
In the U.S. News – Best Lawyers ranking, firms with the highest overall scores were included on metropolitan lists that covered as many as 81 practice areas in 171 metropolitan areas and seven states. Because firms were often separated by small differences in overall score, they have been tiered rather than ranked sequentially.
The first tier includes firms that scored within a certain percentage of the highest-scoring firm(s); the second tier, those firms that scored within a certain percentage of the next highest scoring firm(s), etc. To be eligible for a metropolitan ranking, a firm had to have at least one lawyer listed in Best Lawyers.
