The purpose of Board certification is to identify lawyers who have specialized skill, knowledge, and proficiency in the area of criminal law. They also must have the character, ethics, reputation, and professionalism to be identified to the public as Board Certified. To achieve this esteemed recognition, the attorney must meet many requirements which have been explained below:

  • Practice of law for at least 5 years
  • Substantial involvement in the specialty of criminal trial law – 30% or more – during the three years immediately preceding application
  • Handling of at least 25 contested criminal cases, with 20 jury trials, tried to a verdict; 15 which involved a felony, and 10 as lead counsel
  • 45 hours of approved criminal trial law certification continuing legal education in the three years immediately preceding application
  • Peer review, used to ensure the candidate has the trust and reputation required for this designation
