Business North Carolina issues ballots to every member of the N.C. State Bar living in North Carolina and asks whom they would rate the best in 16 categories. Lawyers are not allowed to vote for themselves, and they may select members of their firms only if they pick out-of-firm lawyers in the same categories.
