Book Reviews of the How Judges Think
Customer Review: A Must Read for Any Trial Lawyer
Summary: 5 Stars
Posner brings his esteemed credentials as a circuit judge and authorative author to tackle the ultimate question: how do judges really make their decisions. Is it based strictly on the law and the facts of the case, or, as we are taught in law school, does it sometimes depend on what mood the judge is in.
Posner enlightens naive lawyers who might be tempted to believe that judges decide cases in a vacuum based on which side has submitted the best brief. He also uses his humor and exceptionally clear writing to show how judges reach decisions based on different types of cases.
In particular, every trial lawyer must answer the question, how will the judge influence my case, or how will he decide it if there is a bench trial (no jury). On appeal, the trial lawyer must also factor in how appellate judges will review his/her case. Posner gives invaluable insight in a very well-written and entertaining book.
