262 lawyers earn board certification
The Board of Legal Specialization and Education congratulates the 262 lawyers who in 2019 earned Florida Bar board certification, a designation that places them among the only group of Florida lawyers who may use the term “board certified” when referring to their legal credentials. Board certification evaluates attorneys’ special knowledge, skills, and proficiency in various areas of law and professionalism and ethics in practice. About 5,116 of Florida’s nearly 107,000 lawyers have earned board certification. Florida offers 27 specialty areas for board certification, more than any other state.
