UPDATE:  Gregory Sisk (St. Thomas) writes:

Because Roger Williams includes only AALS-member schools in its study, newer law schools like the University of St. Thomas (Minnesota) and the University of California-Irvine are not ranked, even though they have achieved productivity levels that would place them in the top five of that study.

Using the Roger Williams methodology, I prepared the attached spreadsheets for both Cal-Irvine and U. St. Thomas….  [spread sheets omitted here, but I have them]

If our two schools had been included, California-Irvine would have ranked first, ahead of Florida State, with a score of 15.6; and the University of St. Thomas would have ranked ahead of No. 4 Case Western with a score of 10.8.
