What I thought funny (actually ha ha funny) was that it basically rates an attorney as an A, B, or C by peer input with A being the highest rating yet the C rating reads "good to high" legal ability. There is no lower rating. Kind of implies that there are no bad lawyers. The fact that there is any type of rating system is a good sign to me but I'm curious as to the value of this system. Any thoughts?

I would not rely on the rating system. I don't think most lawyers submit applications to be rated (I know I have not). But it is a good directory and provides useful information like educational background, etc.
