Lecture - 'A Latina Judge's Voice'

Sonia Sotomayo: I warn Latinos in this room: Latinas are making a lot of progress in the old-boy network. ... ... America has a deeply confused image of itself that is in perpetual tension ... achieving success here is no easy accomplishment for Latinos or Latinas ... I wonder whether by ignoring our differences as women or men of color we do a disservice both to the law and society. ... I accept the thesis.... there is a diversity of opinion because there is both a diversity of experiences and of thought.... feminist theories of judging ... That same point can be made with respect to people of color. ... [Ethnicist, sexist, and racist... what a maroon.]
