Reports on Judge Sotomayor’s Record
In anticipation of Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s confirmation hearings, which begin Monday, July 13 at 10 a.m., we’ve organized by subject matter the dozens of published reports and substantive blog posts about her judicial record. (Links are below the jump; PDFs of longer, more formal reports are noted with an asterisk.) If we’ve left out other significant pieces that analyze her written decisions or provide data–rather than opine on her nomination generally–please e-mail us the link.
