11. Justice Sonia Sotomayor
• Sonia Maria Sotomayor is an Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States, serving since August 2009. Sotomayor
is the Court's 111th justice, its first Hispanic justice, and its third female
justice.
• Sotomayor is of Puerto Rican descent and was born in the Bronx. Her father
died when she was nine, and she was subsequently raised by her mother.
Sotomayor graduated with an A.B., summa cum laude, from
Princeton University in 1976 and received her J.D. from Yale Law School in
1979, where she was an editor at the Yale Law Journal. She was an
advocate for the hiring of Latino faculty at both schools. She worked as an
assistant district attorney in New York for five years before entering private
practice in 1984. She played an active role on the boards of directors for
the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, the
State of New York Mortgage Agency, and the
New York City Campaign Finance Board.

12. Justice Sonia Sotomayor
• Sotomayor was nominated to the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by President
George H. W. Bush in 1991, and her nomination was confirmed in 1992. In
1995, she issued a preliminary injunction against Major League Baseball
which ended the 1994 baseball strike. Sotomayor made a ruling allowing
the Wall Street Journal to publish Vince Foster's final note. In 1997, she
was nominated by President Bill Clinton to the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Her nomination was slowed by
the Republican majority in the Senate, but she was eventually confirmed in
1998. On the Second Circuit, Sotomayor heard appeals in more than 3,000
cases and wrote about 380 opinions. Sotomayor has taught at the
New York University School of Law and Columbia Law School.
• In May 2009, President Barack Obama nominated Sotomayor for
appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court to replace retired Justice
David Souter. Her nomination was confirmed by the United States Senate in
August 2009 by a vote of 68–31.

13. Justice Sonia Sotomayor
• Something you may not know about Justice
Sotomayor: HER STRUGGLE WITH DIABETES:
Sotomayor is a Type One diabetic. She has been
open about her diabetes in the past, noting that
when she was diagnosed at the age of eight, it
foiled her hopes of becoming an investigative
detective like her heroine, Nancy Drew.
