Awards and Honors
A 2004 poll by Legal Affairs magazine named Posner as one of the top twenty legal thinkers in the U.S.
In 2008, the University of Chicago Law Review published a commemorative issue: "Commemorating Twenty-five Years of Judge Richard A. Posner." A website, Project Posner, details all of Posner's many legal opinions. It was begun by Posner's former clerk, Tim Wu, who calls Posner "probably America's greatest living jurist." Another of Posner's former legal clerks, Lawrence Lessig, wrote, "There isn't a federal judge I respect more, both as a judge and person." The former dean of Yale Law School, Anthony T. Kronman, said that Posner was "one of the most rational human beings" he had ever met.

“The sire then shook the honors of his head,
And from his brows damps of oblivion shed
Full on the filial dullness:”
