The To A Greater Extent Than Or Less Cited Women Inward American Legal Scholarship

This is my real stone oil attempt at a listing of the close cited women inwards American legal scholarship today.  It looks at citation counts on Westlaw betwixt 2013 together with 2017.

I apologize inwards advance for the advertizing hoc nature of the listing simply promise it volition laissez passer on to a greater extent than or less well-deserved recognition to to a greater extent than or less real fine scholars.

I used the existing citation counts from Brian Leiter's weblog posts (which, inwards turn, rely on Greg Sisk's work). I used his latest numbers from dissimilar scholarly specialties (with a few modifications) together with updated the numbers from his previous lists of close cited scholars. I besides made private searches for people I idea mightiness non live on Brian's lists to brand certain that they were included.

I rounded the numbers to the nearest 10 citations (unless the count was just at 5). It is of import to recognize that, considered over a 5 twelvemonth span, differences of fifty-fifty 50 or then citations are non actually all that significant.

I tried equally best I could to locate together with include everyone amongst over 500 citations for the menstruum betwixt 2013 together with 2017.

Please experience gratuitous to electronic mail me at jackbalkin@yahoo.com if you lot location omissions or errors.  I volition attempt to update the listing equally I detect to a greater extent than information.

If you lot like, you lot tin perform the citation counts yourself yesteryear searching the JLR (journals together with police trace reviews) department of Westlaw using the formula:

TE(FirstName /2 LastName) together with appointment (aft 2012) together with appointment (bef 2018).

If a mortal writes nether multiple names (as I have), delight purpose the next formula:

TE((FirstName1 or FirstName2) /2 (LastName1 or Lastname2)) together with appointment (aft 2012) together with appointment (bef 2018).

I would similar to brand this listing to a greater extent than systematic inwards the future. Please contact me if you lot are interested inwards organizing the process.
