Anyone who doesn't think Anup isnt a good scholar because he "only " put together one project or only has that many publications is kidding themselves. Anups work is painstaking and difficult and perhaps one of the only legal projects coming out of NLUS that is equal parts rigorous empirical research and equal parts making actual changes in peoples lives. project 39A actually litigates and represents people in prisons. they actually work with state governments to try and move the needle not just on death penalty but also legal aid and prison conditions and things like that. He has clearly done something remarkable with this thing, and if you cant recognise its value because its only one project and not scholarly enough- then that says more about you than about them.
footprint as a scholar has to mean more than how many citations you have. it also means what actually changed because of your work. How many people have read it.
