The 2009 Beautiful Lawyers Calendar is designed to navigate behind the scenes at some of America's top law firms, most prestigious businesses and government offices. To present the lawyers at those businesses and institutions as they are in their relaxed environment… pursuing their passions... the person behind the power suit.

Our quest took us to some of America's most venerable law firms, as well as the captains of private industry. We received huge numbers of nominations, from colleagues, spouses, friends and lawyers themselves. From there our team selected 12 finalists to appear in this year’s calendar. It wasn't easy, as all entrants had amazing stories and all had the style and spirit we were looking for which makes Massachusetts lawyers beautifully unique.

For many months, we have been able to keep the identities of our finalists a closely guarded secret. Now those 12 finalists, 6 men and 6 women have undergone our rigorous selection process, the grueling photo sessions and the in depth background interviews.. and are ready to be introduced to you.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit Greater Boston Legal Services and other selected beneficiaries
