UPDATE:  And some more:

1.  Six "household names" of the legal academy:  Ronald Dworkin (NYU), Richard Epstein (Chicago/NYU), Martha Nussbaum (Chicago), Richard Posner (Chicago), Cass Sunstein (Harvard), Catharine MacKinnon (Michigan).

2.  Some giants of constitutional law.

3.  Some leading legal historians.

4.  Some leading law & economics scholars.

5.  Legal philosophers:  Over 70.

6.  Legal philosophers:  Under 70.  (No way to search reliably for Michael S. Moore, however.)

7.  Some leading corporate law scholars.
