Based on the July 2007 study of scholarly impact, we’ve compiled a new listing of the most cited legal scholars by specialty.  18 different fields are covered, from "Business Law" to "Evidence" to "Legal History" to "Wills, Trusts, & Estates."  If you spot what appear to be surprising omissions of scholars in some specialty, please let me know, and we may post a revised version in a couple of weeks.  (Please remember that the citation totals are from early July of this year!)

ADDENDUM:  Joe Hodnicki (Cincinnati) runs some additional analysis of the results.

UPDATE:  Thanks to all who have supplied feedback.  There will be a dozen or so corrections/additions by early next week–mostly to the "runner-up" categories, though probably not exclusively (e.g., several folks have pointed out the surprising absence of Lucian Bebchuk [Harvard] and Roberta Romano [Yale] from the Business Law list–I am also surprised, and as soon as I am back in the office, will check the underlying data to see what’s going on).

ONE MORE:  Bebchuk and Romano were, indeed, wrongly omitted from the top 20 (indeed, the top 10) in Business Law–a transcription error, alas.  Happily, we haven’t found any other transcription error as significant as this one.  Most of the likely additions next week will be to the runner-up categories, though Susan Bandes (DePaul) will make the top 20 in Criminal Law & Procedure, J. Thomas McCarthy (San Francisco) the top 10 in Intellectual Property, Jordan Paust (Houston) in International Law, and Karl Klare (Northeastern) in Labor & Employment Law.
