10 Most-Cited Labor and/or Employment Law Faculty in the U.S., 2016-2020

Based on the latest Sisk data, here are the ten most-cited law faculty working in labor and/or employment law (including employment discrimination) 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."  (Thanks to Professors Bradley Areheart, Matt Bodie, and Orly Lobel for help in thinking about the contours of this specialty and identifying relevant scholars; mistakes are mine!)
