10 Most-Cited Legal History Faculty (in law schools) in the U.S., 2016-2020 (CORRECTED)

Based on the latest Sisk data, here are the ten most-cited law faculty working on legal history in the U.S. for the period 2016-2020 (inclusive) (remember that the data was collected in late May/early June of 2021, and that the pre-2021 database did expand a bit since then).  Numbers are rounded to the nearest ten.   Faculty for whom roughly 75% or more of their citations (based on a sample) are in this area are listed; others with less than 75% of their citations in this field (but still a plurality) are listed in the category of "other highly cited scholars who work partly in this area."

This list is--unsurprisingly given the Westlaw database is dominated by U.S. law journals--skewed towards those working on American legal history, with the result that very distinguished legal historians working on non-U.S. topics (e.g., James Gordley at Tulane, or my colleague RH. Helmholz) do not appear.
