More than 380 people came out to celebrate the Wisconsin Law Journal’s 2013 Leaders in the Law on Wednesday at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee.

The annual awards program, now in its 11th year, recognizes the top judges, attorneys and legal professionals making a difference in Wisconsin’s legal community. Honorees were chosen from nominations submitted by their peers.

This year’s distinguished class of honorees includes two judges, an assistant DA and several law firm founders (see full list below). Award winners were recognized at a dinner event and cocktail reception.
