255 lawyers earn board certification.

The Board of Legal Specialization and Education congratulates the 255 lawyers who in 2017 earned Florida Bar Board Certification, a designation that places them among the only group of Florida lawyers who may use the term "board certified" when referring to their legal credentials. Board certified lawyers are "Evaluated for Professionalism and Tested for Expertise" by The Florida Bar.

Board certification evaluates attorneys' special knowledge, skills, and proficiency in various areas of law and professionalism and ethics in practice. About 5,000 of Florida's nearly 118,000 lawyers have earned board certification. Florida offers 26 specialty areas for board certification, more than any other state.
