Cover of Richard A. Posner: Reflections on Judging (ePUB)

For Richard Posner, legal formalism and formalist judges–notably Antonin Scalia–present the main obstacles to coping with the dizzying pace of technological advance. Posner calls for legal realism–gathering facts, considering context, and reaching a sensible conclusion that inflicts little collateral damage on other areas of the law.
