Eric Andrew Posner (born December 5, 1965) is an American lawyer and legal scholar.

As a law professor at the University of Chicago Law School, Posner has taught international law, contract law, and bankruptcy, among other areas.

He is the son of retired Seventh Circuit Judge Richard Posner.

Posner attended Yale University, earning B.A. and M.A. degrees in philosophy, summa cum laude.

1991

and received his J.D. degree, magna cum laude, from Harvard Law School in 1991.

He clerked for Judge Stephen F. Williams of the D.C. Circuit.

1993

Posner started his teaching career at the University of Pennsylvania Law School from 1993 to 1998.

1998

In 1998, Posner joined the University of Chicago Law School where he is now the Kirkland and Ellis Distinguished Service Professor of Law and Esther Kane Research Chair.

He has also been a visiting professor at Columbia Law School and NYU School of Law.

From 1998 to 2011, he was an editor of The Journal of Legal Studies.

He is the author or co-author of many books and articles, on subjects including international law, cost-benefit analysis, and constitutional law.

At Chicago he teaches Antitrust, Contracts, Public International Law, and Financial Regulation, amongst other courses.

Beginning in 2022, Posner began service as Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust at the United States Department of Justice.

Posner's published books have ranged over several topics including international law, foreign relations law, contracts, and game theory and the law.

2001

In 2001, Posner's Law and the Emotions detailed the implications of emotional decision making in legal decisions and procedures, as well as in rational choice theory.

In particular, he argues that the American legal system's deeply rooted basis in cognitive science often eschews, or has yet to develop, significant acknowledgement of the role emotions play in criminology and contract theory.

For example, a person who commits a criminal act while in an emotional state may receive a harsher or lighter punishment depending on whether they were motivated by hatred or shame.

Indeed, consideration of the emotional component is often systemic or even codified, but any analysis thereof has been historically ignored.

Posner claims that a person who is in an emotional state rarely acts on reflex, instead remaining in control of their actions.

Though the actions of an individual may be colored by a changing set of values, abilities, and preferences particular to their emotional state, these actions nonetheless remain guided in a procedural manner.

Therefore, the mere observation that an individual's preferences are usually consistent while calm does not invalidate the role of rationality throughout the more temporary preferences of each emotional state.

In other words, while emotional preferences modify the action tendency of any set of possible behaviors, the cognitive decision to commit to an action is nevertheless bound by reason.

He has a wife and two children.

He is a son of the former United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit judge Richard Posner.

2005

In 2005, Posner posted about the trial of the deposed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

2013

In June 2013, Posner and Jameel Jaffer, fellow at the Open Society Foundations, participated in The New York Times Room for Debate series.

Posner responded to concerns about expanded National Security Agency (NSA) programs that vacuum information about the private lives of American citizens.

Those who oppose the surveillance claim that the collection and storing of unlimited metadata is a highly invasive form of surveillance of citizens' communications.

Posner claimed that Americans obtain the services they want by disclosing private information to strangers such as doctors and insurance companies.

Posner in 2013 argued that since 2001 there had not been a single instance of "war-on-terror-related surveillance in which the government used information obtained for security purposes to target a political opponent, dissenter or critic".

2015

In 2015, Posner co-founded the book review The New Rambler.

2016

Posner's position concerning the heightened standing of the executive branch of government was criticized in 2016 by Jeremy Waldron in his book Political Political Theory as not sufficiently sensitive to issue of legislative priorities.

2018

In 2018, Posner co-wrote an article advocating a system of market-oriented, privately sponsored work visas as a supplement to U.S. immigration policy.

Posner has argued for increased attention towards the role of emotions in legal theory.
