Law Professor Blogger Census (Version 5.0)

posted by Daniel Solove

census.jpgNEW VERSION 5.0

NOTE: This is a beta version. Please email me with any corrections. I plan to post a final version soon.

It’s time again for the semi-annual census of law professor bloggers. A lot has happened in the blogosphere since the last census (Version 4.3) was completed in March 2006.

Earlier Versions of the Census: In Version 2.0 (June 2005), there were 130 bloggers (28 female, 102 male), and schools with the largest number of bloggers included: San Diego (7), UCLA (5), George Mason (5), Cincinnati (4), Ohio State (4), GW (3), Georgetown (3), Stanford (3), St. Thomas (3), Chapman (3), Villanova (3).

In Version 3.1 (November 2005), there were 202 bloggers (50 female, 152 male), and schools with the largest number of bloggers included: Chicago (14); UCLA (7); San Diego (7); GW (5); Cincinnati (5); George Mason (5); Stanford (4); Northwestern (4); Ohio State (4); U.C. Davis (4); American (4); Case Western (4); St. John’s (4).

In Version 4.3 (March 2006), there were 235 law professor bloggers (58 female, 177 male), and schools with the largest number of bloggers included: Chicago (15); San Diego (7); GW (6); Illinois (6); UCLA (6); George Mason (5); and William Mitchell (5)

NEW VERSION 5.0 STATS:

Number: There are 290 law professor bloggers.

Growth: Since the last census in March 2006, there are 59 new bloggers and 4 departed bloggers, increasing the blogosphere from 235 bloggers to 290 bloggers – an increase of about 23%.

Gender: Of the bloggers, 70 are female and 220 are male. Thus, about 24% are female and 76% are male. These are roughly the same percentages as in the last census.

Schools: Schools with the most bloggers include:

Chicago (17)

Georgetown (14)

San Diego (8)

Illinois (7)

GW (6)

George Mason (6)

Temple (6)

UCLA (6)

Michigan (5)

St. John’s (5)

William Mitchell (5)

Schools making their first appearance on the census include: Arkansas-Fayetteville, Arizona State, Berkeley Boalt Hall, Brooklyn, Drexel, Florida, Kentucky, Nebraska, Santa Clara, Seton Hall, Tulane, and Wake Forest.

Schools in the U.S. News Top 20 rankings account for 84 bloggers

1. Yale (2)

2. Stanford (3)

3. Harvard (4)

4. Columbia (1)

4. NYU (1)

6. Chicago (17)

7. Pennsylvania (0)

8. Berkeley (1)

8. Michigan (5)

8. Virginia (2)

11. Duke (2)

12. Northwestern (3)

13. Cornell (4)

14. Georgetown (14)

15. UCLA (6)

16. Texas (4)

17. USC (0)

17. Vanderbilt (1)

19. George Washington (6)

19. Minnesota (4)

19. Washington U. (4)

Bloggers from the Top 20 increased from 67 to 84, an increase of about 24%. The Top 20 schools have a disproportionately large representation in the blogosphere – a little under a third (29%) of the total number of bloggers (290). Only 2 schools in the Top 20 have no bloggers — Pennsylvania and USC.

In the chart that follows, I indicate new bloggers with NEW. Since the chart has grown too large for a single blog post, I had to cut the chart in half. The chart below the fold consists of schools beginning with the letters A-M. For the second half of the chart, schools N-Z, click here.

    A pity that non-US law schools were not included.

  2. John Steele - October 2, 2006 at 6:56 pm

    Does your chart have Andy Perlman, of Suffolk, and David McGowan, of San Diego, both at Legal Ethics Forum?

  3. PSU - October 2, 2006 at 10:48 pm

    I also noticed that, although you’ve mentioned Professor Stephanie Farrior of Penn State-Dickinson, a few other Penn Staters have been left out, namely: Professors Eileen Kane and Richard Storrow (both of Feminist Law Profs Blog), and Professor Larry Cata Backer, with his own blog at http://lcbackerblog.blogspot.com/.

  4. Kevin Johnson - October 3, 2006 at 7:29 am

    I may have missed the references to UC Davis but we have a number of bloggers.

    Professor Linda Beale moved from Illinois to Wayne State this year (her blog is “A Taxing Matter”).

  6. eightgun - October 3, 2006 at 11:36 am

    Dale Carpenter at U of Minnesota is a man.

  7. Matthew L.M. Fletcher - October 4, 2006 at 11:34 pm

    There’s three at http://tribal-law.blogspot.com/

  8. Buce - January 15, 2007 at 3:37 pm

    Kevin Johnson (supra) is correct that I have a blog. It doesn’t have much to do with law but I like to think of it as the primo blog of attention surplus disorder.

    Find it at: http://underbelly-buce.blogspot.com/

    I operate under the nom de blog of “Buce,” but I don’t really make any secret of my identiy–just cuts down the cruder junk mail.

  9. Yotam Shor - February 24, 2007 at 10:11 pm

    Check out the blog of the faculty of Haifa U Law School, in Israel. Some of it is in Hebrew, some in English. It has 9 active faculty participants and numerous students replying (I’m one). Its a very active sight.

    You left of my blog at http://www.juries.typepad.com and Professor Susan Brenner at http://www.cyb3rcrim3.blogspot.com
