Jonathan S. Masur
John P. Wilson Professor of Law and David & Celia Hilliard Research Scholar, University of Chicago Law School.

I thank Daniel Abebe, Anu Bradford, Adam Cox, and Jake Gersen for their helpful contributions to this essay.

The task of describing (or even hinting at) Eric Posner’s immense scholarly contributions in just a few thousand words is a daunting one.

A Pioneer of the Law & Society Movement: One Eyewitness’s Reflections
Jayanth K. Krishnan
Milt & Judi Stewart Professor of Law and Director of the Stewart Center on the Global Legal Profession, Indiana University Bloomington Maurer School of Law.

For comments on earlier versions of this Essay, great thanks to Marc Galanter, Lara Gose, Ethan Michelson, Christiana Ochoa, and Jeff Stake. I also wish to thank Bert Kritzer, who provided an important historical point of reference, as well as Vikram Raghavan, who, after hearing a talk that I gave on Marc some years back, was the first person to graciously encourage me to write this type of commemorative essay.

There is arguably no more seminal a figure in the field of law and society than Professor Marc Galanter. That a Special Issue featuring dedications to several leading academic lights would be hosted by the University of Chicago Law Review is especially significant in terms of Marc’s inclusion because Chicago is where Marc came of age as a student.

My thanks to the Frank J. Cicero Fund for support and to the editors of the Law Review for their careful editing.

A Cross-Cutting Public Law Scholar for the Ages
Nicole Huberfeld
Edward R. Utley Professor of Health Law, Boston University School of Public Health, and Professor of Law, Boston University School of Law.

Many thanks to the editors at the University of Chicago Law Review for compiling this special issue. Thanks always DT and SRHT.

Thanks to Fred Shapiro’s labor, we can see that the under-fifty category of most-cited legal scholars better represents the lawyering population than the all-time rankings of legal scholars, as it has more modern and diverse scholarship, and it has a higher percentage of women than the all-time rankings of legal scholars. Anyone who knows Professor Abbe Gluck’s work cannot be surprised that she is included among the most-cited scholars under the age of fifty.

Thank you to John Rappaport, Elizabeth Reese, and Ryan Sakoda for your insightful comments. To the Honorable Guido Calabresi, thank you for your inspiration, your advice, and your community.

The Most-Cited Legal Scholars Revisited
Fred R. Shapiro
Associate Library Director for Collections and Access, Yale Law School; Editor, Oxford Dictionary of American Legal Quotations; Editor, New Yale Book of Quotations.

I mention, only to help those trying to determine whether any biases underlie my comments about law schools, that I have a J.D. from Harvard Law School. The University of Chicago Law School offered me a very nice scholarship, but I foolishly declined it.
I owe tremendous debts to Yale Law School’s former Law Librarian and Professor of Law Teresa Miguel-Stearns and the Interim Law Library Director, Jason Eiseman, for their extraordinary encouragement and support. In preparing this study, I received excellent advice especially from Akhil Reed Amar and also from Anne Alstott, Lauren Edelman, Harold Hongju Koh, Jonathan Macey, Nicholas Parrillo, Judith Resnik, and Tom Tyler. None of them should be held responsible for any errors or misjudgments that I have made. I was extremely fortunate to have the benefit of the intelligence and productivity of an outstanding research assistant, Sophie Laing.

Citation analysis has been around for a long time in law. Indexes of cases cited by the cases printed in reporter volumes may be found as far back as 1743, when an English reporter, Raymond’s Reports, contained “A Table of the Names of the Cases” in which “The cases printed in Italic are cited cases.”
