Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor Honored By Philadelphia Bar Association
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor was in Philadelphia to speak to almost 1,000 guests at the Philadelphia Bar Association luncheon.
Justice Sotomayor received the Diversity Award from the Philadelphia Bar Association, which will be renamed after her. At an afternoon Q &A session with the Bar's luncheon, Justice Sotomayor says the most pressing diversity issue today is inequality in education.
