UC Davis Ranked with Top 25 Law Schools for Scholarly Impact
The latest law school rankings by Professor Brian Leiter of the University of Texas School of Law placed UC Davis School of Law in the top 25 law schools for scholarly impact in 2007. Leiter's study looked at citations for all tenure-stream members of the academic faculty (for 2007-08) from 2000 to the present. UC Davis tied for number 24 among U.S. law schools.
Leiter's law school rankings site is designed for prospective, current, and former law students; law school faculty and administrators; and practicing lawyers in law firms, government, and public interest organizations. About the study, Leiter says, "I am confident that one will learn more about faculty quality at leading American law schools from the scholarly impact study...than from U.S. News."
