INTRODUCTION While a significant body of legal scholarship has emerged on appellate judicial opinion style, (1) little systemic study has been given examining the nature of modern American concurring opinion style.

Posner, former Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and oft-mentioned candidate become a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, is worth trying delineate and understand. (2) In a series of three previous articles, I analyzed Judge Posner's general opinion style during his rookie season as a federal appellate court judge, (3) Posner's inchoate dissenting opinion style over the course of his first decade on the court of appeals, (4) and his maturing dissenting opinion style in his later years on the bench.

(9) Over the ensuing centuries concur softened in meaning also encompass flow[ing] together, as streams (material or immaterial), [t]o converge and meet, [t]o combine in action, co-operate, and [t]o agree in opinion.
