Sonia Sotomayor made history in 2009 when she became the first Latina appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Prior to her appointment, she was a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Sotomayor’s background and experiences growing up in a working-class Puerto Rican family in New York have shaped her approach to law. Her advocacy for marginalized communities, especially in criminal justice reform, has defined her career. She is known for her emphasis on the real-life consequences of legal decisions and her commitment to fairness for all.
Justice Sotomayor has been a vocal proponent of addressing systemic inequality and racial disparities in the legal system. She has often championed the rights of defendants and minority groups, especially in cases related to affirmative action and voting rights. Her personal background and values have influenced her judicial philosophy, earning her both respect and criticism. Her opinions are known for being grounded in empathy and understanding of the human condition, and she has become a symbol of resilience and diversity in the American legal system.
