: University of Louisville Law FacultyFaculty Blogs: Judge Sonia Sotomayor?s Legal Language
Judge Sonia Sotomayor 's background has been discussed at length since her nomination for a seat on the Supreme Court. But what about her legal language?

She took care to avoid gender-biased male pronouns in framing her case opinions, sometimes by using neutral pairs like "his or her."
