The Daily Record today announced its Leadership in Law honorees.
Twenty-seven members of the legal community throughout Maryland were recognized for their outstanding work.
A top winner will be announced at the event on Nov. 19 at the BWI Hilton, 1739 W. Nursery Road in Linthicum Heights.

An external panel of judges and a representative of The Daily Record reviewed the nominations and made the selections.
