Law School Faculty Quality: Who is Up and Who is Down Since 2003

In Spring, 2003, Brian Leiter posted the
reputational surveys of leading legal scholars.
On Tuesday's Brian Leiter's Law School
Reports, Leiter posted changes to the surveys
between the Spring 2003 rosters and the expected
fall 2006 rosters. The list aims to include only
tenure-stream non-clinical faculty who are primarily
in law (e.g., hold tenure in law); adjuncts and
emeritus faculty are excluded. Schools are listed based
on their faculty quality rank in the 2003 survey.

Leiter's comments about which schools have lost or gained
ground (overall and in specific subject areas) follow the
summary of changes.
