Two Indiana University Maurer School of Law faculty members are among the most-cited in the fields of legal ethics and the legal profession/professional responsibility, according to data analyzed by Brian Leiter’s Law School Reports.
Charlie Geyh and William Henderson appear tied at number seven on the list, which uses Sisk data compiled between 2016 and 2020 to track citation counts. The list recognizes faculty for whom roughly 75 percent or more of their citations (based on a sample) are in either the legal ethics or legal profession/professional responsibility fields.
The Maurer School of Law is one of only three law schools to have two faculty members ranked among the top 10.
Geyh, a Distinguished Professor and the John F. Kimberling Professor of Law, teaches and writes in the areas of judicial conduct, ethics, procedure, independence, accountability and administration. His latest book, Who Is to Judge: Judicial Elections, Judicial Appointments, and the Perennial Debate Over Judicial Selection in America, was released by Oxford University Press in 2019. Geyh was awarded an Andrew Carnegie Fellowship to research and write the book.
Henderson, the Stephen F. Burns Professor of Law, researches and writes primarily on the empirical analysis of the legal profession and has appeared in leading legal journals, including the Stanford Law Review, the Michigan Law Review, and the Texas Law Review. In 2015 and 2016, he was named the Most Influential Person in Legal Education by The National Jurist.
