Earlier this month, I posted the 2007 scholarly impact study of the top 35 law faculties. Using the same data, I'll post next month lists of most-cited scholars in various fields, as I did a nmber of years ago. Here's another preview: the "top ten" most cited list for Intellectual Property/Cyberlaw (broadly construed); after each name is the institutional affiliation, then the number of citations since 2000, and the scholar's age in 2007:
1. Mark Lemley (Stanford University): 2110 citations, age 41.
2. Robert Merges (University of California, Berkeley): 1280 citations, age 48.
3. Pamela Samuelson (University of California, Berkeley): 970 citations, age 59.
4. Jessica Litman (University of Michigan): 870 citations, age 54.
5. Dan Burk (University of Minnesota): 840 citations, age 45.
