Pitt Law faculty rank high in Leiter study of scholarly impact

We should all be proud of the results of the Leiter study of the top law faculties in the US based on scholarly impact, where Pitt was ranked at 21, and made the listing of top law schools. The study gives objective evidence of the excellent quality of the faculty at Pitt Law. It is particularly noteworthy that we substantially outrank several law schools in the first tier of the US News & World Report rankings, including BU, Emory, Ohio State, UC Hastings and USC ( based on mean per capita citations.) Congratulations to our faculty for this well-deserved recognition of their legal scholarship.
