I know very little about how you go from being an acting professor to getting tenure. I assume it has something to do with the appointments committee deciding whether you might turn out to be an important person in your field. In other words, the same crapshoot as law school admissions.
Let's check in on our acting professors and see if they're putting nose to grindstone and getting some shit published. I'm only counting law review articles or books published after they left law school – you can't coast on student work forever, kids. I'm not counting book reviews either.
Let's rank the field!
UPDATE 4/24: Russell "The Muscle" Robinson has updated his bibliography and moves up two spots.
The Top Producers:
1. Mark Greenberg: 12 articles (6 of which were published while at UCLA, 2nd yr teaching here)
2. Scott Cummings: 11 articles (7 at UCLA, 4th yr)
3. Adam Winkler: 10 articles (3 at UCLA, 4th yr)
The Middle Class:
4. Victor Fleischer: 6 articles (4 at UCLA, 3rd yr)
5. Iman Anabtawi: 4 articles (3 at UCLA, 6th yr)
6. Maximo Langer: 8 articles, but only 3 in english & concerning US law (3 at UCLA, 3rd yr)
The Slackers:
7. Russell Robinson: 2 articles (2 at UCLA, 2nd yr)
8. Gary Rowe: 2 articles (1 at UCLA, 5th yr)
9. Gia Lee: 1 article (1 at UCLA, 2nd yr)

FYI, Robinson just accepted an offer to publish at Cal on "caste and casting" in Hollywood. He turned down an offer from the UCLA Law Review to publish "on the road."
