Cornell Law School faculty rated among the most published in the nation

Cornell University's Law School has one of the most published faculties in the country. According to the Chicago-Kent College of Law Review Faculty Scholarship Survey, Cornell has the third most prolific law faculty in the nation.

The survey measures the number of articles published by law school faculties in the 20 leading law reviews from 1988-1992. Cornell's Law School averaged 1.1497 articles published per faculty member in leading law reviews during the five-year period examined by the survey.

"This survey is important in that it represents the contribution of the faculty to the development of legal scholarship," said Russell K. Osgood, the Allan R. Tessler Dean of the Law School. "Faculty research helps produce a high level of instruction in the classroom and underscores our deep commitment to scholarly activities."

The survey counted any published article that was 10 or more pages in length that was written by a professor, associate professor or assistant professor.

The most prolific law school faculties, according to the survey, are: University of Chicago (1), Yale University (2), Cornell (3), Harvard University (4), and the University of Texas (5).
