USF Law in Top 50 for 2019 Scholarly Rankings
For 2019, the University of San Francisco School of Law faculty ranked 10th for median SSRN downloads in the last 12 months, and were ranked 47th in overall scholarly impact in a new survey by Paul Heald and Ted Sichelman.* USF Law is clearly "punching above [its] expected weight” given its relatively small faculty, say Heald and Sichelman in their forthcoming Jurimetrics article on the 100 schools with the greatest scholarly impact.
Writing across a wide range of subjects, USF Law faculty share a mission to understand and help solve many of the world’s most pressing issues. We’re pleased to provide a glimpse of recent scholarship:
