The Sotomayor Nomination
Selecting Supreme Court Justices
A panel of experts responds to questions about the judicial nomination process that touch on the balance between the president and the Senate, the role of interest groups, and the possibility of reform in the confirmation process.
A Pioneer in the Legal Profession
The Division for Public Education's 2000 interview and profile of Judge Sotomayor during National Hispanic Heritage Month.
The New Haven race discrimination case
Notre Dame Law School Prof. Barbara Fick analyzes the issues and arguments in Ricci v. Destefano, a case with racial overtones that is now being cited by some Sotomayor critics. In the case (which is now pending in the Supreme Court), Judge Sotomayor joined two other judges on a Second Circuit panel to affirm the dismissal of a lawsuit challenging New Haven’s refusal to certify the results of a promotional exam taken by its firefighters.
The Opinions of Judge Sotomayor
The New York Times's Adam Liptak reviews Judge Sotomayor’s judicial opinions and concludes they are "marked by diligence, depth and unflashy competence."
