Southern California, as defined by Best Lawyers, is composed of six metro areas: Inland Empire, Los Angeles, Orange County, Pasadena, San Diego, and Santa Barbara. For research purposes, smaller and more rural cities located within a reasonable distance to larger cities are combined into single geographical regions called “metro areas” to help collect as much feedback and data as possible. "Lawyer of the Year" honorees are based on extremely high overall feedback within specific practice areas and metropolitan regions.
