UA said in a press release that Sotomayor is the 12th United States Supreme Court justice to address members of the Alabama law community as an Albritton lecturer. President Barack Obama nominated Sotomayor as an associate justice of the Supreme Court on May 26, 2009, and she assumed the role that August. The Albritton Lecture Series was first established by Judge William Harold Albritton III — a senior judge of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama - and is supported by The Albritton Fund, which was created in the 1970s by the Albritton family of Andalusia — a family that includes four generations of UA Law graduates.
