Coming on the heels of Hein’s new Author Profile pages that Bonnie detailed last week comes Hein’s ScholarRank. This interesting tool gives users a glimpse at which Hein authors are not only cited the most by other articles and cases, but also have the most views of their own articles. Basically, ScholarRank is trying to determine the 250 most influential legal scholars by analyzing and crunching these important numbers.
UW’s faculty is represented at number 90 by Professor Emeritus Marc Galanter, who has written numerous influential articles throughout his career. The list is a veritable ‘who’s who’ of legal scholars, including such well-known names as Scalia, Renquist, Bader-Ginsburg, Brandeis and many others. University of Chicago Senior Lecturer Richard Posner is number 1.
You can review the list (and review each author’s enhanced profile page) by visiting the Hein ScholarRank page.
As Bonnie mentioned last week, HeinOnline’s Law Journal Library is available to anyone at the UW Law Library, as well as at the State Law Library, the Dane County Legal Resource Center, the Milwaukee Legal Resource Center, and Marquette Law School. It is also available remotely to Wisconsin State Law Library cardholders who work at a firm or organization with fewer than 25 attorneys (for more information, see WSLL website).
