Tim Wu and Stuart Sierra have built "Project Posner" -- a free database of all of Judge Posner's opinions. There isn't a federal judge I respect more, both as a judge and person, and while I clerked for him, I can claim credit for only one thing that he's done: The Posner-Becker Blog.

I think you mean the Becker-Posner blog!
Seriously, though, that blog is an impressive resource--it's astonishing how prolific Posner and Becker are, and how complex the issues they confront can be.
Between that blog, Freakonomics, The Long Tail, and of course Thomas Friedman, it seems like creative practical economics is enjoying a period of incredible productivity--and I think Posner's opinions were some of the first material to demonstrate a use (and a need) for such scholarship.

I think it's amazing when you really look at the majorly complex issues that these judges have to deal with. I honestly don't know how they do it. The problem is you can't go with your 'gut feel' in cases (well, it's not really a problem, because the law and complexities thereof prevent injustices – ideally speaking). How they deal with the complexities of the actual case and the complexities of law is simply astonishing. I take my hat off to them, although often still do question the justice behind some of their decisions.
