Larry Solum has posted the Top 20 schools by total SSRN downloads. Obviously, this list has been blogged about before and will probably be in flux as more schools and more authors adopt the SSRN culture.
Interestingly, the list falls off fairly quickly from the top schools with 20,000 or 30,000 downloads to schools with 3,000, 2,000 or 1,000. With 952 downloads, Marquette is ranked at 82, which is actually a little higher than our USNRW ranking. We achieved this ranking with only 5 papers in the last 12 months, and only 9 papers uploaded ever. As you might expect, only three professors have papers there. I in fact only have one, something that I am working with law reviews to remedy. Needless to say, the schools above us have many more papers. Therefore, moving up in the lower ranks of the Top 100 may be a fairly simple matter of getting information out to your colleagues to post their working papers and previously published papers on SSRN.

I've also noticed that student papers count (as Brian Leiter pointed out in his post). It could be as simple as getting our students to upload their papers. Eric.
