Robert Ambrogi’s Lawsites points to The Internet Marketing Attorney Awards which have been updated. From their press release:

The independent survey was conducted by marketing attorney Micah Buchdahl of InternetMarketingAttorney.Com and based on five criteria: design, content, usability, interactivity and intangibles.

Sites were awarded up to 10 points for each measure, for a maximum total score of 50. The high score was 45. Thirty firms rated a 38 or better to receive platinum, gold or silver honors in the U.S. large firm category. For the third time, reviews and awards were expanded to include a small/mid-size law firm category. The international category reviews (for non-U.S. firms) will be released in June.

Mr. Buchdal, the reviewer who compiles this list puts a lot of time into this. In fact:

More than 150 “non-billable” hours and six months went into this project. The small, mid-size and international firm categories received hundreds of nominations. Every one was considered. Objectivity and fairness continues to be my holy grail. Firms that have people I personally adore sometimes got roasted; firms that have some folks I would not share a beer with won some awards. There was no financial interest in this project and no financial considerations were involved. Not working for, or with, any company associated with the selling or building of web sites, or working for or with any company that has “considerations” in regard to these law firms, I did not pull any punches.

This site is an excellent resource for anyone looking for an objective perspective on law firm web design. I encourage anyone interested in design to check it out.
