Earlier this month, I posted the 2007 scholarly impact study of the top 35 law faculties.  Using the same data, I’ll post next month lists of most-cited scholars in various fields, as I did a nmber of years ago.  Here’s another preview:  the "top ten" most cited list for Intellectual Property/Cyberlaw (broadly construed); after each name is the institutional affiliation, then the
