Faculty Lists for "Empirical Legal Studies"

UPDATE:  The faculty lists should include those who do empirical work (in an economic, political science, sociological, or psychological vein), not simply those who are co-authors with those with the relevant disciplinary skills for empirical work.

===================

Various readers had asked that I run one of the on-line surveys about faculty quality in the "empirical legal studies" area broadly construed.  To that end, here's a draft of faculty lists for schools that might well rank in "the top ten" in this area.  I'm sure the lists are woefully incomplete, so please post additional names of faculty who works in this area in the comments.  And if there's a school that might rank in the top ten in this area, post that information in the comments as well.  Please post corrections int he comments below, do NOT e-mail me.  I need to have the corrections in one place.  If there's a very sensitive matter, you can e-mail me.  Thanks.

Jill Horwitz is co-director, with Jim Hines, of Michigan's Program in Law and Economics, http://www.law.umich.edu/centersandprograms/lawandeconomics/Pages/default.aspx
Sorry I neglected to mention this previously.

For Minnesota relevant faculty include Myron Orfield, Bert Kritzer, Barry Feld, Susan Wolf, and Francis Shen. Other possibles to this list include Greg Shaffer, Kristin Hickman, Steve Meili, and Chris Robert.

"But it just goes to show that either ELS is a flaky 'field' or ELS is so prestigious that everyone wnats to be counted in it!"

The latter, Brian, as I thought your concern about 'padding' had indicated.

BL COMMENT: It might be 'flaky,' but some insiders think it is prestigious!

[Joe Doherty]

For the record, I swear by my Stata license that the following ladder faculty at UCLA have collected and/or analyzed data for publication: Gary Blasi, Scott Cummings, Sharon Dolovich, Ingrid Eagly, Carole Goldberg, Jerry Kang, Kenneth Klee, Lynn LoPucki, Timothy Malloy, Richard Sander, Joanna Schwartz, Kirk Stark, and Alexander Stremitzer. I might be missing one or two.

[Justin McCrary]

Some other missing Berkeley Law people. Aaron Edlin surely has to be included. Two examples include:
http://works.bepress.com/aaron_edlin/21/
http://works.bepress.com/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1031&context=aaron_edlin
He also has a paper estimating the probability of casting the tie-breaking vote in an election, but I can't find the link.

I would also think that Stavros Gadinis
http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=591462
should be included.
