Sotomayor managed to excel in school graduating at the top of her class at Blessed Sacrament and at Cardinal Spellman High School in New York.

Sotomayor worked in private practice as a general civil litigator of cases involving real estate, employment, banking, contracts, agency law, and intellectual property. Her dream was realized in October of 1992 when she became the youngest woman to be appointed to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by President George H. W. Bush.
