PITTSBURGH, PA, April 26, 2017 – James D. Miller, a shareholder in the Litigation and Construction groups at Babst Calland, was selected by The Legal Intelligencer as a “2017 Lawyer on the Fast Track” in Pennsylvania.

The Legal Intelligencer asked the Pennsylvania legal community to submit nominations for the annual Lawyers on the Fast Track honors. After reviewing their results, a six-member judging panel composed of evaluators from all corners of the legal profession and the state selected 32 attorneys as the 2017 Lawyers on the Fast Track. This recognition is only given to attorneys under the age of 40 who have demonstrated excellence in four categories: development of the law; advocacy and community contributions; service to the bar; and peer and public recognition.
