Law Review Rankings v. Law School Rankings

Washington & Lee has updated and expanded its law review rankings, which are based on citations to articles published in the past eight years (1999-2006):

• Impact Factor (citations/number of articles published)
• Citations in Law Reviews
• Citations in Cases (federal and state courts)
• Combined (weighted combination of the above rankings)

We previously have blogged Al Brophy's interesting work on the relationship between law review citations and law school rankings. Here is a quick comparison of the Top 25 general-interest student-edited law reviews in the updated W&L rankings and their schools' U.S. News ranking:

See TaxProf Blog for charts on:

• Law reviews ranked 26-55 by W&L (and their schools' U.S. News rankings)
• Law reviews with the biggest discrepancies from their schools' U.S. News rankings
