Bio

Robert Sweet is a Senior Judge for the Southern District of New York. Prior to taking the bench, Judge Sweet served as the deputy mayor of New York City from 1966-69 and was a partner and associate in several New York City law firms. Judge Sweet led dozens of federal judges in refusing to hear drug cases in the late 1980s as a way of protesting regressive mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines.
