		Posek (Hebrew פוסק, IPA: [po·ˈseq], pl. Poskim, פוסקים) is the term in Jewish law for "legal decisor" - a rabbi who decides the Halakha in cases of law where previous authorities are inconclusive.
		A posek may often serve as a Dayan ("judge") on a Beth Din ("court of Jewish law").
		The decision of a posek is known as a psak din or psak halakha ("ruling of law"; pl. piskei din, piskei halakha) or simply a "psak".

	Maharal - Chapter 1: Mishna 5: Part 3 - Torah.org
		The nature of the Posek in Jewish life is to clarify the principles at work in any given situation, deciding which Halachot apply and to set policy according to those principles.
		This is the function of the "tzurah." While the Posek can't be oblivious to the practicalities of the decision, he can't be unduly influenced by them, either.
		But the posek is fulfilling the "tzurah" role, and it is from among those fulfilling this role that we draw our poskim.

		But I thought a posek works more like a scholar or a scientist, building a logical case that other people can verify or refute.
		I learned that when electricity was first looked at from a halachik perspective, the poskim just said "ossur" (forbidden) on Shabbos without explanation, because they felt people would not fully understand all the implications, and do according to their own reasoning.
		I also want to point out that being a posek (halachic decider) is a different skill than being a Rosh Yeshiva (teacher, head of an academy).

		I wish to address the autonomy of the posek in his relationship with prior Halachic authority.
		There are essentially two paradigms, although they may exist only in theory, for the reality is probably closer to a continuum, with every posek fitting in at a different place.There are a great variety of sub-positions, and no one is really purely one or the other.
