The list will showcase the leaders in the following categories: Young Influencers – lawyers aged 40 or under who have had an extraordinary impact on the profession or society; Human Rights, Advocacy, and Criminal – human rights lawyers, criminal lawyers, and those involved in political or other advocacy work; Changemakers – lawyers in any type of practice who have been leaders, innovators, or catalysts for positive change in any area of the profession such as diversity, law firm management, education, and others; Government/Non-profits/Associations – lawyers engaged in public inquiries, officers of Parliament, academic institutions and the judiciary; Business – lawyers working on litigation, deals, class actions and other areas related to business.
