Gregory Sisk (St. Thomas-Minnesota) and his colleagues in the law library there have prepared a new scholarly impact study, using the methodology of the 2010 study, but this time Professor Sisk and his colleagues did all the real work, and I acted only as a 'consultant' (looking over faculty lists, flagging suspicious results that should be double-checked and the like). ...
Here are the "top 25" in scholarly impact, with the ten most-cited faculty listed in parentheses (an * indicates a faculty member 70 or older in 2012), followed by the rank in the scholarly impact study for 2005-2009 ....
14. University of California, Los Angeles (Stephen Bainbridge, Devon Carbado, Kimberle Crenshaw [part-time], Jerry Kang, Russell Korobkin, Lynn LoPucki, Hiroshi Motomura, Neil Netanel, Kal Raustiala, Eugene Volokh) (15)
I like to do my part. Speaking of which, Orin Kerr notes that, "Unlike the previous version of this study, the results only rank the schools: The study does not include a ranking of individual scholars by subject area." Disappointing. Seeing where I stacked up was always one of my guilty pleasures, as I suspect it was for others. (If you're curious, here's how I stacked up last time.)
