U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor addressed an audience at St. Francis College in Brooklyn on Thursday. The talk was moderated by her former clerk, Sparkle Sooknanan, an associate at Jones Day who graduated from the private Roman Catholic school in 2002.
Sotomayor referred to court nominee Neil Gorsuch when she noted that “the current nominee is 49 years old” and could serve 30 years or more. Republican President Donald Trump nominated Gorsuch on Tuesday to fill Justice Antonin Scalia’s seat.
