Description of Pictures: U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor
Sonia Sotomayor, an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, was born in the Bronx, New York. She earned a B.A. from Princeton University and a J.D. from Yale Law School. She served as assistant district attorney in New York County and then as a litigator at Pavia & Harcourt. In 1991, President George H.W. Bush nominated her to the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York. In 1997, President Bill Clinton nominated her to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. President Barack Obama nominated her to the Supreme Court on May 26, 2009, and she was confirmed on Aug. 8, 2009, becoming the first Latina on the high court. Sotomayor is the author of “My Beloved World.” Her new books, “Turning Pages: My Life Story” (Philomel) and “The Beloved World of Sonia Sotomayor” (Delacorte), are for young people.

Bigger photos? To save space on the server and because the modern camera images are so large, photos larger than 640x480 have not been loaded on this page. If you need the bigger sizes of selected photos, email me and I can email them back to you or I can re-load this page temporarily with the bigger versions restored.
