SOTOMAYOR'S CIVIL PRACTICE WAS AT ANTI-KNOCKOFF FIRM
Long before President Obama thrust Sonia Sotomayor into the spotlight by nominating her for the U.S. Supreme Court, she was a corporate attorney with an interesting specialty: designer handbags.

Sotomayor spent eight years from 1984 to 1992 at New York firm Pavia & Harcourt, where she represented Italian luxury goods retailer Fendi in its fight against knockoff handbags bearing the designer's logo. Fendi was one of Sotomayor's major clients when she was an associate and later a partner specializing in intellectual property litigation.
