Lawyers & Leaders

In 2017, West Virginia Executive magazine partnered with the West Virginia University (WVU) College of Law to create the Lawyers & Leaders awards. The honors program recognizes elite legal professionals who either practice in the Mountain State or graduated from the WVU College of Law and are making a positive impact on the state and the nation, have dedicated their careers to serving others and their communities and are leaving a lasting mark on the legal profession.

West Virginia Executive accepts nominations year-round.
