On January 12, 2012, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court approved the Pennsylvania Bar Association Workers' Compensation Law Section as a certifying organization in the area of workers' compensation law. The Pennsylvania Bar Association (PBA) Review and Certifying Board had recommended the approval.
The PBA Workers' Compensation Law Section became the first bar association entity in Pennsylvania to receive approval as a certifying organization. Several other states recognize specialty certifications for workers' compensation law, including California, Florida and North Carolina.
Attorneys in Pennsylvania who earn this distinction are allowed to use the following language in advertisements:
"Certified as a specialist in the practice of workers' compensation law by the Pennsylvania Bar Association's Section on Workers' Compensation Law as authorized by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court." The goal of specialty certification is to help the public make a more informed decision when choosing an attorney.
In 2013, 149 attorneys were certified as specialists in workers' compensation. In May of 2014, another 32 lawyers became certified in this specialty area of the law.
In May of 2015, an additional 20 attorneys were certified by the Pennsylvania Bar Association Workers' Compensation Law Section as specialists in the practice of workers' compensation law.
The attorney must also maintain their certification by paying an annual fee of $90. The attorney must also report the completion of continuing legal education (CLE) credit from the Supreme Court Continuing Legal Education Board including a set number of hours that must be devoted to the field of workers’ compensation. See Section 6.a.1.g) of Article IX of the PBA Workers Compensation Law Section Bylaws.
