This insightful biography introduces readers to Justice Sonia
Sotomayor, a remarkable woman with a single-minded pursuit of
educational excellence, who rose from poverty in a Bronx housing
project to a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. Sonia Sotomayor: A
Biography is an overview of Justice Sotomayor's life and career
from her childhood to her ascent to the Supreme Court. It is also
an early assessment of her performance on the court, her
relationships with her colleagues, and the particular influence she
is likely to exert on future decisions. Sharing an inspirational,
rags-to-riches story, the book begins with Sotomayor's childhood in
an East Bronx housing project. It follows her to Princeton, where
she was a student activist, and to Yale Law School. Equally
important to an understanding of this influential judge is the
discussion of her career as a prosecutor for the City of New York
and as a judge in the District Court for the Southern District of
New York and the Second Circuit Court. Examining her reputation as
a tough but fair jurist, the book explores the influence of these
years which, at the time of her appointment, established her as the
only Supreme Court justice with experience as a trial judge.
Photographs of the justice at various times A chronology of
Sotomayor's life An annotated bibliography of selected resources
including books, magazine articles, and television programs
