Who the Hell Is Judge Richard Posner and Why Should I Care That He Retired?

One of the nation’s most influential judges and legal writers, Richard Posner, retired as Saturday from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago, NPR reports.

Posner has written more than 3,300 opinions in nearly 36 years on the bench, along with scores of books. He is known for a sharp wit, clear writing and opinions that could be equally biting and humorous, with occasional references to his cats.

Posner said in a statement he is “proud to have promoted a pragmatic approach to judging… and to apply my view that judicial opinions should be easy to understand and that judges should focus on the right and wrong in every case.”
