Law School Recognized for Faculty Scholarship Productivity
Oct 20, 2008

A 2008 study confirms the impressive productivity of the Boyd School of Law’s faculty, placing the Boyd faculty in the top one-third of nationally accredited law school faculties in terms of scholarship.

The Roger Williams University School of Law studied the productivity of law school faculties. The study, controlled for faculty size, measured the number of substantial articles written by law faculty members and published in a fifteen-year period in the most influential and frequently cited law reviews in the United States.

Boyd faculty's production ranks within the top 60 in the country. This puts the Boyd faculty within the top one-third of the 200 U.S. law schools fully accredited by the American Bar Association.

Faculty members of UNLV's William S. Boyd School of Law have written over 100 books, over 110 chapters in other books, and approximately 600 articles published in national and international law journals. These books, chapters, and articles have been cited by the United States Supreme Court, many other federal and state courts, administrative agencies, legislators, and numerous lawyers and professors.
