Ranking Law Schools: Using SSRN to Measure Scholarly Performance

"There are several methods for ranking the scholarly performance of law faculties, including reputation surveys (U.S. News, Leiter); publication counts (Lindgren & Seltzer, Leiter); and citation counts (Eisenberg & Wells, Leiter). Each offers a useful but partial picture of faculty performance. We explore here whether the new 'beta' SSRN-based measures (number of downloads and number of posted papers) can offer a different, also useful, albeit also partial, picture."
