          Until very recently, I viewed the annual announcement of New Jersey\’s Super Lawyers with considerable skepticism.  Having practiced law for nearly 30 years with my fair share of success and professional achievement, it seemed to me that any such list that didn\’t include my name had to be faulty.  All of that changed this week when I was named a New Jersey Super Lawyer in the Health Care category (also published in the April print edition of New Jersey Monthly magazine).  Clearly, the folks over at Super Lawyers have finally gotten the kinks out of the selection process. 

          I don\’t know what made me a Super Lawyer this year, or why some terrific healthcare lawyers I know have yet to make the list.  But I confess that I\’d rather be on the list than not.  I wish I could say that I didn\’t care, but I do, if only a little.  I also admit that I will buy the plaque commemorating this event.  After all, the selection process may never again be as well-conceived, fairly applied and thorough as it was this year – I will let you know.
