Nominations can also be made for the Legal Personality of the Year award, with the winner being decided by an online vote of the New Law Journal readership.

The judges include Joe Egan, the President of the Law Society, Edward Sparrow, Chairman of City of London Law Society, and leading human rights lawyer, Baroness Helena Kennedy QC & NLJ consultant editor David Greene
