The Relationship Between Law Review Citations and Law School Rankings

The Law Librarian Blog (12/13/2005) brings our
attention to a study by Alfred Brody (University
of Alabama Law) that addresses the Relationship
Between Law Review Citations and Law School
Rankings. Brody "explores the connections between
US News rankings (particularly the peer assessment
scores) and citations of schools’ main law reviews by
journals and by courts." According to Brody, there are
high correlations between the US News peer assessment
scores and citations of main law reviews by journals for
the US News top 50 schools.
