Project Posner: The Opinions of Judge Richard A. Posner

Timothy Wu (professor at Columbia Law School) and
Stuart Sierra (web designer at Columbia Law School)
have created Project Posner, a database of Judge Richard
A. Posner's judicial opinions from 1981 to 2006 (ex-
cluding the most recent opinions).

The site is searchable or can be browsed by year.
A fun feature is the 'interesting results' page, which
tells us - among other things - that Posner has cited Kafka
in seven cases and cats (the animal, not the musical) in fifty-
six cases.
