Paul Caron has extracted the data on tax professors from the SSRN top authors database. Interestingly, UCLA School of Law has 6 of the top 25 tax authors on its faculty, which is twice the number of the next highest ranked school (Stanford). Curiously, however, my friend and famed law school ranking guru Brian Leiter omitted UCLA from his list of schools that have improved of late in "the broad 'Business Law' area." Of course, perhaps Brian did so because he knows UCLA already was a business law powerhouse?
