Posted by Eugene Volokh: How Often Do Courts Cite Student-Written and Non-Student-Written Articles? http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2007_05_27-2007_06_02.shtml#1180732668
I've just come up with some estimates of this, based on samples from the first five months in 2007, and searches in MEGA;MEGA on Lexis. The estimates are only estimates, for a variety of reasons, but I think they're good ballpark judgments. So my riddles to you: (1) How many times per month do U.S. courts -- in Lexis-accessible opinions -- cite student-written law review articles (denominated Note, Comment, Case Note, and Casenote, though excluding faculty-written works denominated Comment)? (2) How many times per month do U.S. courts cite non-student-written law review articles? Let's see who can get closest to right, or at least closest to my estimates of what's right. (By the way, there are a total of about 25,000 Lexis-accessible cases per month.) _______________________________________________ Volokh mailing list [email protected] http://lists.powerblogs.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volokh
