Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor’s published majority opinions in the last eight years do not paint a portrait of an activist judge, according to the co-author of a new book on measuring judicial activism.

She is co-author with Frank Cross, also of the University of Texas School of Law, of “Measuring Judicial Activism.”
