Don't Forget: New Specialization Badges for Your Website and Marketing

You can help educate the public about the importance of specialization so they might recognize attorneys who have gone above and beyond in their profession. The Board of Legal Specialization has created badges specific to each specialty.

What are digital badges?

A badge is a digital representation of your significant professional accomplishments, combined with a description of the specific knowledge and skills required to earn it. Badges are used to educate the public as to what is required to earn the distinction—in this case, what it takes to become a board certified specialist. As such, we would love for you to use the badge on your websites and in your marketing materials. View or download the images.

Hyperlink the Badge

When you post the badge on your website, please link it to the “Benefits of Hiring a Specialist” page on the specialization website. Please use this link.

More Information

We are putting together a guide on how and where to use both the specialization logos and the badges, and we will send out more information when it is available.
