Minnesota Law Welcomes United States Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor

Sonia Sotomayor, associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, visited the University of Minnesota Law School in late October. She was in Minneapolis for the investiture of the Honorable Elizabeth Bentley to the Minnesota State Court of Appeals and visited the Law School during her stay in the Twin Cities.

Justice Sotomayor met with Minnesota Law students throughout the day. She also joined Dean William McGeveran, William S. Pattee Professor of Law, University of Minnesota President Dr. Rebecca Cunningham, and Executive Vice President and Provost Rachel T. A. Croson and Law School faculty for an engaging discussion.

“Meeting Justice Sotomayor was both a professional and personal highlight,” says Professor Alexander Boni-Saenz, Robins Kaplan Distinguished Scholar. “This was a meeting that my Latina mother was excited to hear about as well!”
