Sotomayor Issues First Opinion

Tue, Dec 8, 2009

Home, Justice

The Supreme Court handed down several decisions today, including the first written by Justice Sotomayor. In keeping with tradition, it was a unanimous decision, although Justice Thomas issued a concurrence. The case was Mohawk Industries V. Carpenter, an attorney-client privilege case in which the Court upheld the lower court’s ruling that a federal judge’s decision releasing documents created by Mohawk Industries’ lawyer could not be appealed.

The highly anticipated ruling in the Citizens United case was not handed down.
