Said Richardson Law School Dean Avi Soifer, “We are gratified that the important scholarly work of our faculty is widely recognized. On the other hand, this study does not include books and chapters published by law faculty members and our Law School has a particularly distinguished record in that category as well.”
Soifer added, “What may be even more noteworthy is that our students directly benefit from a wonderful faculty/student ratio and they get to learn directly from outstanding scholars who are also exceptional teachers.”
The authors of the study explain that they calculated impact scores from both the mean and median of total law journal citations over the past five years of tenured members of each law school’s faculty.
The study cites 10 Richardson Law School faculty members for their outstanding scholarly work and law journal citations. In alphabetical order, they are Associate Dean Denise Antolini, Hazel Beh, David Callies, Linda Krieger, Charles R. Lawrence III, Justin D. Levinson, Mari J. Matsuda, Jill J. Ramsfield, Dean Avi Soifer and Eric Yamamoto.
