Justice Sotomayor’s Message to Lawyers: Stand Up, Fight and Win In an era when judges are often assessed by their commitment to democracy, Justice Sonia Sotomayor stands as a stalwart in the pro-democracy camp.

Sotomayor’s support for the aggressive pro-democracy movement is so important at this critical time. She understands that while we must bring difficult cases and be willing to lose, we must always fight to win. And by lending her voice she affirmed that it is β€œour time to stand up and be heard.”
