Interview with Seventh Circuit Judge Richard Posner

You can access this transcript of a CNBC interview with Seventh Circuit Judge Richard Posner entitled “Richard Posner discusses his position on law, pragmatism and democracy” at this link. (Thanks to Howard and JD2B for the link.) The interview occured Monday, July 28th, prior to the issuance of the opinion in the Xerox case, Berger et al. v. Xerox, which was written by Judge Posner. Mario Bartiromo for CNBC asked Judge Posner about how he views cases involving employees who are suing pension funds over reduced payments. You can read his response at the link above. Interestingly enough, as mentioned here before, Judge Posner may also be one of the judges who will decide the appeal in Cooper et al. v. IBM Personal Pension Plan et al. since that case will go to the Seventh Circuit as well.
