20 most cited Administrative and/or Environmental Law faculty in the U.S., 2019-2023 (CORRECTED)

9/7/2024

Brian Leiter

Based on the latest Sisk data, here are the twenty most-cited law faculty in administrative and/or environmental law in the U.S. for the period 2019-2023 (inclusive) (remember that the data was collected in late May/early June of 2024, and that the pre-2024 database did expand a bit since then). Numbers are rounded to the nearest ten. Faculty for whom roughly 75% or more of their citations (based on a sample) are in this area are listed; others with less than 75% of their citations in this field (but still a plurality) are listed in the category of "other highly cited scholars who work partly in this area." (Note that Ricky Revesz, who was #1 last time, is currently in government service, so was not part of the Sisk study.)
