Sotomayor Delivers First Court Opinion of New Term
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the court's newest member, got to deliver the Supreme Court's first opinion of the new term. It was also Sotomayor's first opinion as a Supreme Court justice. The case was Mohawk Industries v. Carpenter, which involved a question of whether a lower court's decision on attorney-client privilege can be appealed to a higher court.
