10 most-cited Legal History faculty in U.S. law schools, 2019-2023 (2nd CORRECTION)

Based on the latest Sisk data, here are the ten most-cited U.S. law faculty writing on legal history for the period 2019-2023 (inclusive) (remember that the data was collected in late May/early June of 2024, and that the pre-2024 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."
