On Wednesday, February 5, United States Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor received the Brandeis Medal, the “highest honor” given by the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law.
Established in 1983, the medal, like the law school, gets its name from former Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis, and is awarded to members of the legal community that have advanced public service and justice through law.
The ceremony was held at the Louisville Marriott Downtown, co-led by U of L President Kim Schatzel and Brandeis School of Law Dean Melanie B.
