Brian Leiter ranks the US News top 15 law schools by SSRN downloads. UCLA ranks 15th according to US News, but ranks 7th by SSRN downloads:
- UCLA law faculty papers on SSRN have been downloaded 34,038 times
- Although UCLA's SSRN website lists 80 authors, 46% of UCLA downloads are attributable to the top 3 most frequently downloaded faculty members
- In ascending order, the top three are:
- K. Raustiala (2,348)
- L. Stout (2,746)
- S. Bainbridge (8.468)
- Yours truly thus accounts for 24.9% of UCLA downloads
- It might also be worth noting that yours truly would be the most frequently downloaded faculty member at 9 of the other law schools on the list:
- Columbia
- NYU
- Yale
- UC Berkeley
- Georgetown
- Michigan
- Northwestern
- Cornell
- Virginia
