A Retired NY Judge Looks at Sotomayor's Dissent
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote a scathing dissent in the court's ruling on stop-and-frisk in Utah v. Strieff.
The Honorable Shira Scheindlin, who in a 2013 ruling found that the New York Police Department had resorted to a “policy of indirect racial profiling” in carrying out stop-and-frisk in minority communities and ordered sweeping reforms, weighs in on Sotomayor's comments.
Scheindlin is a retired United States District Judge for the Southern District of New York, a member of the Litigation Practice Group and an arbitrator/mediator at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP, discusses Sotomayor's remarks.
