Excellence in Law to celebrate legal accomplishment across the state
Heath Hamacher//January 23, 2026//
North Carolina Lawyers Weekly’s Excellence in the Law event returns in April, bringing together attorneys from across the state to celebrate leadership and achievement across the profession.
The event will honor lawyers at all stages of legal practice at an evening reception in Raleigh. Our Phenoms are all rising stars with 10 years or less in practice who are already positioning themselves as future leaders. Our Leaders in the Law are leading members of the bar whose contributions have strengthened not only the practice of law, but the broader community as well. And our Icons represent the legal “Hall of Fame” — attorneys with 30 or more years of practice whose careers have helped define the local legal landscape.
Nominations for this program are closing soon. Please take a moment to let us know who among your colleagues should be honored here.
