: ConglomerateIf the Conglomerate Purchased a Law School
By Gordon Smith, Christine, Hurt, Vic Fleischer, Fred Tung, Lisa Fairfax, David Zaring
The Volokh team has considered its cite counts as if it were a faculty, Florida State has done the same, and Brian Leiter has done it for 20 law schools. How does the Glom stack up?
We're a small outfit, but a powerful one. Our tenureds average 278 cites per person since 2000, throw promising young scholars like Vic and me in there (ed. Uh-oh, might want to disable comments for this one), and the average is still 246 - with a bullet, I think.
And all this attention comes even though we're a little more oriented towards tax, banking, and venture capital than are some other all-guns-freedom-and-internet-all-the-time blogs that I could name. The blog itself has been cited in 53 journal articles. It puts our mean up there with Georgetown and Penn if you do things the way Leiter did, and with UVA's tenureds if you count our untenureds, which Leiter didn't. And the Glom can wave to Florida State in its rear-view, though of course it would do so politely and respectfully.
