https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/11/us/politics/judge-richard-posner-retirement.html

He called his approach to judging pragmatic. His critics called it lawless. “I pay very little attention to legal rules, statutes, constitutional provisions,” Judge Posner said. “A case is just a dispute. The first thing you do is ask yourself — forget about the law — what is a sensible resolution of this dispute?”

The next thing, he said, was to see if a recent Supreme Court precedent or some other legal obstacle stood in the way of ruling in favor of that sensible resolution. “And the answer is that’s actually rarely the case,” he said. “When you have a Supreme Court case or something similar, they’re often extremely easy to get around.”

Flame or not flame?

If not flame, that's largely what structured law is for.

It provides the rules for determining what's fair.

judges like this are why you settle litigation. i have appeared before this one federal judge where you can literally show them their own published cases saying "Point of Law X" on the exact same facts, sometimes with the exact same parties, and they will say "I think I'm going to rule Point of Law Not X because it feels right."

charlatans.

DESCRIBE the amount of projection in these statements:

-----

“I pay very little attention to legal rules, statutes, constitutional provisions,” Judge Posner said. “A case is just a dispute. The first thing you do is ask yourself — forget about the law — what is a sensible resolution of this dispute?”

The next thing, he said, was to see if a recent Supreme Court precedent or some other legal obstacle stood in the way of ruling in favor of that sensible resolution. “And the answer is that’s actually rarely the case,” he said. “When you have a Supreme Court case or something similar, they’re often extremely easy to get around.”

I asked him about his critics, and he said they fell into two camps.

***

He said he had less sympathy for the second camp. “There are others who are just, you know, reactionary beasts,” he said. “They’re reactionary beasts because they want to manipulate the statutes and the Constitution in their own way.

Yes it does, because it fucks up the law for all the other litigants that actually try to fucking follow the law (or at least act according to the law). You look at the law, and it's pretty clear on one point or another, but there's this shit Posner case out there that fucks everything up and injects uncertainty.

But aren't you assuming that there is actually a formalist conception of law? Isn't law at the end of the day a matter of interpretation?

like whether a doctor violated the standard of care in a malpractice suit--isn't that all interpretation?

This "forget about the law" thinking is how you end up with rulings like the Title VII case where the Seventh Circuit said a law that explicitly bans gender and racial discrimination also implicitly bans discrimination based on sexual orientation, even though the law doesn't say anything about that.

Why even have a legislature if the judges are just going to do whatever they want, laws and Constitution be damned? If Posner's retirement means we get a new judge who will predictably and faithfully follow the law, then good riddance.

imagine having a 7th cir argument in front of Posner or Easterbrook.

you'd tell your client, "look, they are going to ignore all the facts and law we've been arguing about for years. they're just going to do whatever they want. and there's a good chance they will trash me, trash opposing counsel, or both of us, just for fun."

Not earth shattering legal advice. Counseled clients into settlements for similar reasons in 9th circuit.

Dear Posner,

Did anyone ever tell you that you think far too much of your legal writing abilities?

The best legal writing has a strong, logical, well structured heart.

In addition to playing fast and loose with the facts, Posner sacrifices much of that in service to his goal of telling simple stories for the masses.

That's not a call for jargon or any such nonsense. Posner simply isn't as good a writer as some other notable judges, but Posner doesn't seem to understand that.

I'm partial to Friendly's method of writing opinions, but it is an acquired taste.

I'd rank Easterbrook over Posner on the Seventh Circuit. This includes both opinions and scholarship.

Some DC Cir. judges are good, but boring.

To name some ladies of the bar, I've been favorably impressed by King (5th Cir.) and Kearse (2d Cir.).

Did you ever try to read Posner's N.D. Il. damages opinions (he sought to sit by designation a few times)?

? I like Selya. Was just trying to think of who might level this type of charge at Posner.

Good to have a smart guy inside the judiciary who's willing to speak up when something doesn't make sense. You guys want judges like Scalia who talk about the letter of the law disingenuously and reach whatever result they want?
