: the (new) legal writerRichard A. Posner, How Judges Think
A better title for this book might have been What Makes Judges Tick. In it, Judge Posner explores not only the various non-legalistic ways that judges decide cases, but also the things that motivate the behavior of Article III judges, who?unlike most employees (or in Judge Posner?s words, labor-market participants)?don?t have the carrot of pay raise or promotion, and don?t fear the stick of getting fired. Reading this book will increase your empathy with judges. And if you can explore the inside of judges? heads1, you should have a better idea how to persuade them.

1 Or should that be ?head??
