Abstract
Various ordinal ranks for Baire-1 real-valued functions, which have been used in the literature, are adapted to provide ranks for Baire-1 multifunctions. A new rank is also introduced which, roughly speaking, gives an estimate of how far a Baire-1 multifunction is from being upper semicontinuous.
