Abstract
The article proposes an analysis of professional reputations, social characteristics and scientific practices of the academic community of Russian lawyers. The authors give a detailed social portrait of the community: demographic characteristics, mobility, teaching load and involvement in legal practice. The study provides drawing on the representative survey the rankings of the most authoritative figures who have contributed to the Russian legal science in general as well as to particular sub-disciplines of law. In the article, the authors analyse how reputation correlates with formal indicators — the number of publications and citations in Russian and international journals. The article specifically addresses the issue of the involvement of Russian legal scholars into the international academia and their preparedness to use empirical methods and interdisciplinary approaches.
