Seventh Circuit Judge and University of Chicago Law School Professor Richard Posner is slated to guest host Larry Lessig’s blog over the next week (Aug 23-27). Upon meeting Judge Posner, you would not immediately guess that he is one of the most prolific legal writers (even more than Grisham) as well as perhaps the most cited legal scholar ever.
(Shapiro, Fred R, 2000. “The Most-Cited Legal Scholars,” Journal of Legal Studies, University of Chicago Press, vol. 29(1), pp. 409-26).
Face-to-face, Posner is humble, polite, and sincere. In his books and opinions, he is often Darwinian. I’m sure his posts will be excellent. Check them out.
