Abstract
Over the years, a number of attempts have been made to rank the law reviews of American law schools. These efforts, which have relied on either citation counts or usage surveys, have been plagued by methodology errors and criticized for including too few journals. To overcome such problems, this Essay ranks 161 law reviews according to a new system based on author prominence. The Columbia Law Review, with an overall score of 553.74, is found to be the nation's top law review; Harvard, NYU, Virginia, and UCLA round out the top five.
