2022 Rising Stars Award Nominations

The 2022 Rising Stars Nominations are now open! 

MCCA’s Rising Stars is an annual list featuring stellar attorneys whose accomplishments and dedication
to the legal profession and to their community place them among those “attorneys to watch”.
The MCCA Rising Stars may be at varying stages in their careers, but they all possess the love of law, ambition, and pursuit of excellence while possessing compassion for those in need and a strong
desire to give back to others.

Selected Rising Stars will be profiled and recognized on our website and social media and honored at our 2022 Creating Pathways to Diversity Conference in-person in NYC on October 17 -19. The profiles of all the past Rising Star honorees can be found here and the 2021 sponsored spotlight videos can be found here.

Our goal is for the honorees to embody a wide representation, including race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, attorneys with disabilities, geographic location and practice area.
